Another season came and went.
I came out crying,
dressed for the occasion,
still vain enough to wonder
what the other guy looked like.
There are hardly any photographs.
Apparently I was here.
The sky is blue again.
The trees are still bare.
The calendar insists
there is winter left.
Let it.
I have reached the end of mine.
There are things I lost
I sometimes want back.
Not today.
There is a city
I keep asking to become home.
I’m not sure how much longer I will stay.
There was a version of me
who spent too much of the season
in bed.
He got me here.
I don't resent him.
Not today.
