No Such Thing as Bad Weather
They walk anyway.
Hats lowered, coats pulled close,
boots pressing their claim
into a mirrored world.
Rain does not ask permission.
It simply falls —
a steady handwriting across the day.
Trees stand stripped of leaves,
inked thin against the sky,
while puddles memorize
each passing step.
Growing up, we said
there is no such thing as bad weather —
only bad clothes.
So they walk.
Together,
through the blur and silver wash,
through streets that shine
like opened oysters.
The best walks
are not always given sun.
Sometimes they are given
weather enough
to prove
you meant to go.
