I nibble at my fingernails one after the other
trying to shave them down to size they always
seem too long these days and jagged maybe it’s
the cold and the darkness that makes them grow
kind of the opposite of plants that need warmth
and light but plants are in hibernation mode
now bare branches and flowerbeds covered in white
white snow the sun barely makes an appearance and
the stars struggle to shine in the early evening
the moon a sliver but on the darkest day the
first day of real winter even though frost has
encased our corpuscles for a while already and
ice covers windshields there is hope that the
light will reappear and my fingernails will stop
growing so wildly or at least I’ll use a nail clipper
