not everything

is about you

the paperweight on

the Christmas carols

stored in the attic

first of January—

the year’s joys like rain

down the storm drain

I too am flightless

winter sorrows

~B. L. Bruce

whale pods wading through the industrial smog space

~Elancharan Gunasekaran

under the snowman's hat the water rabbit
