POEMS: By Josh Lynott

In Mid-December

By the fire,

in mid-December, rain soundtracks.

Crackle and patter, melting butter.

An unlikely pair, in mid-December.

It knows me, perhaps better than I?

Who is it? What is it?

Something bigger than me.

It knows slow, something I must go.

I try.

I've missed phone calls, emails,

and sent the wrong letters. It's okay.

The fire will burn, and so will I.

The drain is loud, my brain too, at this time of year.

Summer misses me,

I can't say the same.

Like droplets of truffle oil on tonight's risotto,

I will soak in.

By the fire,

in mid-December, I giggle and laugh.

My eyelids are heavy, risotto.

An unlikely pair, in mid-December.

Journal Prompt:

End of year review. Go through your camera roll and pick out photos that meant a lot, highlighted important parts of your year or made you feel something. Annotate these with shorthand notes. Complete this for the entire year.
