We climb out onto porches clutching our tea-stained mugs, asking for anything resembling our historic January. The one where: Week One we start fresh, Week Two we bury ourselves in white, and by Week Three forget our previously declared resolutions. (Week Four never registers as its always spent preparing for another month; another storm.)
The tables shakes to the sound of bowling alleys whenever we shift our body weight. A chorus of left to right, or right to left; trying to find the Middle Way.
The cats have forgotten about us as they tuck themselves into pillowcases, radiators, or anything promising warmth.
And so we sink into moonlight, having forgotten the ways of the sun, and mutter to ourselves since the piercing air halted our conversation.
We have reduced ourselves to burning candles, hearty silences, and ticking clocks.
I long for March and its promise to release us from Persephone’s embrace.
