Extended Forecast - March 16, 2026

I hear later this week

we’re having

a July day in March

a day of hard shadows and fire,

the sun turning up its burner

to blister the skins of spring

yet to harden

while young leaves and flowers

extend their arms to the warm candle

a flamethrower will blow them back

things will burn, animals

will press into shade and

everything will drink

whatever they can

and we may wonder about

the world we live in, how

bad news carries

its own weather

and the extended forecast

appears to be something

straight out of hell
