 It's January, dark time.  Short days, cold days, alone time.  I'm fine, but maybe not everybody is...

2023


2023

 

Welcome, new year, I greet you with open arms

and side eye.

I resolve to make no resolutions, but predictions

            must be made.

 

Long furry catkins will continue to drip down, but the forest

            will be on the move.

Snow will continue to fall on cracked soil, but the ground will heave and splinter, if not this year,

            then soon.

Men and women will comfort each other and pray for better but

            an angry young man will still raise his long gun and aim it at blacks, or muslims, or children.

You will count those you love on the fingers of one hand, but, by the end of the year,

            you will still be able to make a fist.

 

And in the watery depths, the snow crabs will continue to eat their own young, but, for a while at least,

            there will be fishing.

 

Happy new year.
