JANUARY


I’ll stop talking about everything
I’ve lost. Soon.
I forget about January,
the way my gut lurches around
inside of it empty
wanting to be filled,
the way it stands me up in spirit,
I keep coming full force
with nothing more to show,
the way I clamber to fill myself,
meet myself places I shouldn’t go,
the lake on cold dark afternoons,
houses where the fire’s lit for different guests.
I’ll become silent. For once not wanting
to be beautiful, just clear.
