Hail stones of responsibility
Pelt down upon me
At this time of year
So much to be done
I’m already exhausted
And it’s only just begun
I need to synchronize
My body’s disrupted clock
With the cycadean rhythm
To have enough energy
To run this gauntlet
To reach the 31st of December
Breath, my best friend
To calm this overwhelm
Silence, the answer
To the thunderstorm
That rumbles within me
Moments in baby steps
The dance to the new year
