a $1.99 calendar dangles from a loose thumb tack on the wall
11 pages lighter stained by dark coffee, a few days X'd off
so many days till christmas, too many days til spring
60 watt bulb dims a room that needs more light
what started with cold rain falling leaves
erased the color of vibrance
oppresses silently
too cold to go
too dark
to stay
why
