December was shadows cast
by frosted juniper cloaks.

January wasn't her strongest work;
she never played the right notes.

February simply met the border
of quiet and renamed its content.

March came with greening leaves
and stamped mud in the fountain.

April rose like dusty birds
and grew among the flowers.

May was the color of her hair;
she spoke of her declining powers.

June was a thistle in a bush,
whispering when the wind came.

July was a sexless tower of heat
that sweat out the saddest blue flame.

August was a clearing sky
full of the sounds of aircraft.

September was a meeting of willows,
over which you could hear her bright laugh.

October was a warming chill
for 31 separate dawns.

November spread its beauty out,
and again to the month I was born.
