May
the first day
of a new month
how
appropriate

May
you used to be my favorite month
the weather turns warm
and the rain subsides
my birthday
graduations
and just a general sense
that things
are getting
better

May
today it is pouring down rain
literally
and metaphorically
I cried for the first time last night
in months
a flood of emotions
that have failed
to remain
repressed

May
although if you asked
I would swear to you
that I am still stuck
in January
how have 5 months passed already
where has the time gone
and when will the rest of it go
when

May
nothing good will come of you
this year
