slipped

slipped and fell in the same accursed well
i will learn this time 
i will

crossed my arms and still
managed to open them wide for this hell
but i will learn this time
i will

broke this promise to myself
caught on too late but it was just as well
i will learn this time
i will

December

December came
quick and stealthily
with the crackling of pinecones
underneath my feet
the scent of Juniper
tangy and sweet
and the stillness
in the frigid air
quieting anxiety...

"Shh," it says, "Shh...
delight in the serenity."
