1-1-11

January flatline.

Calendar pages as smooth and bleak

As the snow-covered horizon out the window.

Potential and possibility,

But loneliness, too.

A blank journal;

An empty calendar.

With no reflection of life lived.

Straight lines.

1-1

Absence of matter

01-01

Until the beginning is over.

Then, flatline feebly revived,

The middle begins:

February 

2.
