So far the winter here is crazy wet.
Reports about La Niña have gone mute.
Like seasons of my youth I don’t forget,
the storms arrive in waves from a commute
Alaska sent, Hawaii made. The threat
of parked high pressure’s this month destitute.
It’s likely nests and dens now overflow,
for neither ants nor skunks will stay below.
