WEATHER GIRL
Awfully bright misty light
wraps across the inlet.
She heads over the mountains
— chill on chill
clouds cooling snow —
Her teenage hair tousled and teased
her sideburns carelessly sexy.
She looks like she could tornado
all stacked up like that.
The water is calm
but something is blowing her feathers back.
