like a nun covers cleavage. winter.....the white habit. Yes, but it screams too desperately as an attempt to shock

in my head for months, 
(fuck mariah carey)...An anticlimax. I want my money back 

the world is a numb white,
and so are my hands -
just as we forget what green
looks like, the feeling in our
skin falls frozen off the bone. .....this doesn't take the thought forward from S1 - this is just rambling with line breaks 


december is a cold-hearted
bitch, dolled up in ornaments,
wrapping paper, adolescent
laughter, empty wallets. ....nice, but I would prefer a simile "is like" over a metaphor in L1.


jesus celebrates his
two-thousandth odd
birthday, and it’s clear
that under all of december’s
ugly-girl make up is just
pine needles. fucking everywhere. ....fails to take the thought forward from S2. L2 here is particularly prosaic
Thanks for posting
