Around the Turn of the Year

CULTURAL PROMPT- “WHAT DOES DECEMBER MEAN TO YOU?”

Raining Love

Around the turn of the year
we fit perfectly
under my umbrella
crafted of twelve
recycled plastic slices
containers of different colors

let’s squeeze together to its dark side
honey, it’s December now
and the downpour doesn’t stop
my heart is sad after all
and the taxi cab is waiting

even for the briefest moment
keep me warm with your breath
and leave me strong
without missing a beat
it’s funny and tough

discovered it in writing
under your fingerprints
December makes me frenzy
running into potholes
find hilarity in the barest holidays
