January

January

January pouts like a petulant child,
Crying with rain and dreary.
“Why is fun out of favor now?
I wished for more attention and approval, 
A relief from fury and fever pitch of perfecting,
A time to revive and renew, and now
Rest and relief have cunningly come, and yet
Suddenly, hollowness and longing,
Not for the flashy and flamboyant past,
 
But for the manger.
