November's Saint

November’s Saint I watch Truman’s Capote's tale in November the south, trapped in frost bare, naked to the eye a penury of snow like poor folk clothes hardly enough to cover the jagged edges of bones. a boy eking out love as a winter bird searches for warmth huddled against the wind. days sad and drab the only colour in paper kites and dime movies shared with a friend.

Thank you Maureen but I don't have the foggiest notion of how to go about it and I can't afford to self publish. So I guess you are stuck reading my stuff forever(wicked cackle).
