There are no holidays in the stunted month.
Valentine’s is no day off.
Yes, August once had everything to give,
and wanted you to loll and live,
but the shortest month on paper
is the longest in its favour,
as it drives each human frailty to the wall;
and it freezes expectations, and it cancels
hope of Spring; it snows in every memory of Fall,
sweeping many a soul towards a dreaded end,
chilling the heart and chewing the head.
So weary, you cease to wonder
if it ever will be over. Still it insists
you bend to hear the tale it tells:
“And February is no man’s friend,
and February wants you dead.”
