November is knee-deep in old love.

And the problem with stagnant water

is how it putrefies, how a clean thing

can go heavy, how it stinks.

Cold presses on the mattress and

heartache crawls out from under it,

dripping hot honey into your open mouth until you drown like a turkey in the rain.

(You are not the hero of this story.

Even if it’s yours.)

You watch

the people you love

love each other

and feel like a child,

face pressed against

a store window,

begging for something

you are not allowed

to have.

NOVEMBER IS AN ABANDONED BEE HIVE, by Ashe Vernon
