Missing January, Missing August

You never imagined
you’d end up wishing
for a colder snowier winter

or for less sunshine,
less heat in your summer,
more water in your town pond.

That you’d be missing
the sub-zero of January
in New England

and the damnable,
tropical, reddened
air of August. You must

see it — the formerly
painful weather 
of your youth is gone,

and this nostalgia is 
harbinger only
of pain to come.
