Forget December,
the hall-decking and making merry
are finally over.
Welcome,
winter.
January is the hot skillet exhaling
its enormous sigh of relief
upon meeting an open faucet.
Let in
as you look out your window at the new year,
which is, for just a moment,
a field
at dawn, after a long night’s fresh snow,
untracked,
without yet its well-worn path.
