When November called my name, I laughed a little each morning, weary with ordinary, filling each day with jam and toast. The birds carried their tunes muted across white sky, onto the heels of December. I followed you, down the hole. I mocked, you mocked Did we notice? It was November…my feast began. you complied a dream weaving straw into gold, I am not the miller’s daughter. You asked that I understand pocketing concerns, tending to the urgency of your sorrow What gilded time you gave. Silly little child rebuked I wrapped myself in doubt. You handed me my lever, we pulled, the earth swallowed we did not stop I marked the day; November still hangs undressed on my wall smothering the rest in silence; it bears down its power deafening the cries of the impending; the gloss shines dull, the days have been eliminated November is calling. |
