January
With its hooked “J” ready to catch you an unsuspecting fish
The beginning of a new year
When we didn’t want it
With its spiraling ups and downs
Another chapter in this worn endless book
Of the
Un-connecting mix and match of tales
that make up your life
how it would be reassuring
to know that in twelve months time
you would have time to
placate
to think
of the rush of the past year
to relive your glories
and fast forward
through the losses
never having to add a new chapter
to your abyss of a book
black and looming
January
Is not a fresh beginning
Its blank page
Uninviting
For it is just a gust of wind
Forcing you
To write
Your inky letters

There’s a flow remind me of a monologue… It’s really nice.
I mean: reminding…
thank you Seabell 🙂
I love the simile, “like a hooked J ready to catch you an unsuspecting fish”
Your lowing lines make January seem much better than it actually was.
Your art is quite beautiful.
