a glimpse into the real story behind the legend.
the groundhog
stays up all night
trying to calculate
exactly when spring will arrive
and is exhausted
when they wake him up
to bring him out
early in the morning
for his official prediction
each february 2nd
on groundhog day.

“february, a form pale-vestured, wildly fair,
one of the north wind’s daughters, with icicles in her hair.
