“December,” someday, you’ll hear me say, “you’re small. Someday you’ll not dwell here, at all.”
“Flameless light, unconvincing tinsel — your legacy-less, grey-sky stare no longer rejects me.”
Expect me, someday, December, to say, “Gaze you, into some placid pool, reflecting — see now what I see when I see you.”
Icy heart, frozen love, ticking clock — your time winds down…down…down
Three, Two, One…you found out I found you out….
See yourself out
“I’m as May, you’re September, December.”
So shallow sun
You’re on your way, I see
I, unwittingly lingering at the South end of the street,
Noticed you
And remembered, too
The promise of That December day
Also on its way
Whence I became oh-so-able to endure your tallest morning shadows
If there’s a reason
For the late-December rain
It’s to look deeper
I move quietly
Certain amidst so much noise
Hope will live untamed
