I dislike you, January, with your
Mornings veiled in wet mist and your
Sodden fields that have stolen
The cracked and frozen earth that should
Lie in frost under crisp, blue skies.
I resent you, January, with your
Mornings steeped in damp gloom and your
Dragging hours that will bury
The well-intended hopes of New Year’s
Revels in bleak and cloying days.
I disown you, January, with your
Mornings lost in sad thought and your
Hungering for Summer’s laze -
And my feint of a single, red-stemmed glass
Filled with evening’s bold ambition.
