Let's just pretend I said something really witty here.
As the stars lazily roll across the sky,
I realise another month has gone by.
I name her January.I imagine her dressed in white blankets,
Illuminated by the fading glow of fireworks
and tree lights left to live past their time -
But the truth is, she is only ordinary.
Each year I visit her, and
Each year she feels more empty.I realise then, that a month
Is like a home that grows;
That, as years pass, I lose myself
In them and their rigmarole -
The hallways become windier,
The furniture seems tinier,
The dusty letters and pictures collect
In mounds of nostalgia
So large, I fear I’d drown in my own forgotten years.Lost in my reveries,
The stars pass me by
And I am stirred by the touch of dawn’s light.
I tell January I love her still,
Placations drip from my tongue
Like from a character in a vaudeville.Of course, she will be gone soon,
And another month will roll across the skies,
And in those later breezes, the leafless branches
Will wave their bitter-sweet goodbyes.
She will wave and bid adieu,
As her tears fall to the earth and freeze
On the hills and mountains, until
May’s warmth carries them out to sea.I do not choose how the world turns,
Nor can I say I own the weeks.
I can only name the months and love them,
And hope they return even though they are free.
So I sit here and turn with the world,
Held on tenuously by my feet,
Until many months have come and gone,
And the world turns without me.
