Dare to Take a Walk Through It





A blessed secret gasp of freedom
runs through mid-November
when her cool constituency
realizes it’s not yet indentured
to a holiday – no need to be iconic yet –

now mid-November’s members
get to be for moments undefined –
no Christmas crush, and Halloween
is far behind, and even Turkey Day
seems just sufficiently remote

to make the middle of the month evoke
not anything at all but its sweet
unconsidered light and air. Dare
to take a walk through it: abandon care.
How lovely to find nothing there!
