November Without You

Fri, 02/28/2014 - 20:49 -- sussy

A shiver of seasons had crept on us 
And I found myself stringing together 
Wilted leaves off the front porch
Shriveled bones and blue lips 
And numb fingertips
Remind me of my distant cousin 
And her poor tormented wrists but 
Even more disturbing
The lack of warmth to her touch
But also neither to mine
Until frigid November returns

Here’s to the ones
Who sought no light in us
And to the season spent distant 
From one another
But also closer than ever
