Poetry: January 1

January 1

resolve:
to verb, noun, verb
feel better about ourselves
tithe bank accounts & body fat
to fitness gods, reflections in the mirror--

to feel something bigger,
dreams & idolatry,
open our eyes, be seen.

change the world; change ourselves,
or is it the other way around--

toss coins in coffer--
check it off  & forget
to hear the throngs of time
build armies against us,
never waiting to strike

forget resolves,
cause them to starve to death--
hours fall off days,
moons rise with darkness--
bring us light.
