sunday, december 6
december's weight is strange
so much piled up and waiting
so many things coming undone
my mind is degrees off level
all day i felt like falling over
moving in some direction that muscles
would not pull, the inner ear
not willingly sanction
there was a biting wind this morning,
a wind with promise
but often enough i read promise in weather
which only signals its own inconsequence
i am told there's a foot of snow in upstate new york
chill and endless rain seem probable in england
i would like some kind of heavy falling from the sky
of my own.
