"DEAR DECEMBER"

WEREN'T YOU LUCKY weren't you lucky to be enticed and found to become the only one he couldn't live without weren't you lucky to be able to consolidate every major disgrace into a life-saving grace always being available to take her place weren't you lucky when he became your worst enemy never forgiving him for all the years spent on frugal necessity numerous women who came and went weren't you lucky to become a part of his life a strong physique inconsistent with becoming weak inconsiderate and uninvolved with emotional baggage so far nonsense arguments always unable to be resolved weren't you lucky to attend a black-tie affair exhibiting self-confidence without a care black, designer labels strutting around conference tables allowing him to hide behind what at first seemed stable in a well-versed manner he walked alongside another all shaken up you were angry and abrupt knowing that this time you've had enough weren't you lucky to be rid of him for the ultimate disaster would be in forgiving him FRUIT MEDLEY whirling, spinning and breaking ice and coveted grapefruit juice along with bland yogurt and a ripened banana tempting tastes which have gotten you through a nerve-racking diet minus sordid pills and cheating thrills the blender awaits you every morning to refresh an ounce of misgiving while converting it into an arrangement of sinful flavors melting in your mouth despite left-over ice and your mind's inner shout vibrant energy will be all-inclusive as soon as you sip away his deliberate intrusion RITE OF PASSAGE joined together by wanton days shifting time and space carefully won reminiscing as winds blew glorious nights spent kissing you tearing apart each others' souls along with restricting clothes copper skin sweet and salty hidden beaches found within a million lifetimes lived in sin rethinking our rite of passage and giving in
