unpredictable
a sliver of light and i'm awake
too early but there it is
the day waiting for me
raising the blind i see an iffy sky
a stained canopy streaked
with the tints of a halfhealed bruise
if those promising glints of gold
manage to overpower the ominous slate
it might yet fair up nicely
but there's no telling at this point
my powers of meteorological prediction
are not noted for their accuracy
sighing i turn away
and hunt for iffy day clothes
which is no stretch
because i've led an iffy life
my wardrobe is proof against
any and all contingencies
jammed into drawers and closets
is a phantasmagoria of costumery
an a to z of the motheaten to the glamorous
none of it sorted since i'm a lazy jackdaw
so every day is a scavenger hunt
for appropriate habiliments
digging in a drawer where i think i'll find
suitably iffy garments i pull out a scruffy sweater
and suddenly it's seven years ago
because lurking underneath
is the silverblue silk shirt i was
wearing when we met and haven't worn since you left
and isn't love just like that iffy sky out there
unpredictable clouds easily whipped into a storm
by prevailing hormones from the south
fool's gold inevitably fading into gray
and the rain is salt tears that taste like
smoke and betrayal
i don't dress for love anymore
my powers of emotional prediction
are not noted for their accuracy
i pick up that shirt and rip it to shreds
just as the rain begins splatting
a mocking tattoo against the panes

Rain or shine? It's hard to tell from this autumn morning sky over Lake Superior at Grand Marais, Minnesota.
