February sits hard
like an anchor
dragging down
slowly and inevitably down
it sits and it sinks
and no matter how hard you work at the knots
it will not come untied
ride it to the bottom
because somewhere
the bottom
has to somehow become
the top again
and when you come out
on the other side
there will be
the rest of the story
