She scans in photos and posts them online
memories surge from the back of her mind
loved one taken before her time
She takes a moment to rewind
under her breath she... mumbles softly
“I hate this time of year.”
“I hate this time of year.”
Snow drifts sideways; pulls her along
ditches sing a siren song
wait forever for a disappointing dawn
Sun’s barely up before it’s gone
with quiet curses, she prays alone,
“I hate this time of year.”
“I hate this time of year.”
“I hate this time of year.”
But a day will come, it'll all be clear
