New Years

Folder: 
2019

I haven’t gotten used to the new

Maybe this verse, these clouds, this January

is driving me a little bit crazy,

this world

with all its years.

 

I get older and

a month is no longer

a month.

It is precious seconds

tied up in a tiny corner of my life.

 

Days went by so much

more slowly

when I was young enough not to know

how to write the date.

 

I get older and

a year is no longer

a year.

It is teardrops

I am trying

to hold

on

to.
