december

wait 'til december
the moon shines brighter then.
the wind blows more.
the trees shiver.
warmth pulls us closer.
fictitious happiness suffocates our hearts.

it's a break.
from all of the troubles built up over the past twelve months.
it's the longest breath of the year.
take it in and look around.
keep breathing.

wait 'til december
steam flows from our mouthes.
lights twinkle from the road side.
we all know the words.
fake livestock occupies dying lawns.
students live in strange autonomy.

it's a break.
from a habitual schedule and routine.
it's the longest nap of the year.
stay in bed with me.
and sleep.

i can't wait 'til december.
