It wafts up from the South Where it sleeps, eternally huffing Thick and red like a ****** steak February yearns to be over The lazy month, cold and short It can't wait to be done So it begs the Summer to come And it does Swirling in flaming patterns past the coast It breaks the knots in my hair And whispers in my ear Telling me where what I yearn for is hidding Goading me to jump Forcing me to fall The Summer whispers secrets in my ears And I answer its call
