January Waits, Unsentimental

A child waits, bundled up in a snowstorm.

Hear me read
the poem as
an MP3 file.

Watch me read
the poem as
an MP4 file.

January waits, unsentimental,
Again born into beauty, cruel and kind.
Nor cold nor darkness fools the wily child,
Unweeping in a brutal wind and wild,
As the Earth turns passionless and blind.
Rejoicing in her birth, she dons the mantle,
Yearning to recall what lies behind.
