Ode to February

We are all ruins here
though no dramatic changes
or revolutions afoot.
Just a slow burn through February.
The power elites ignore our voices
that echo from these mean streets.
In time, all bodies crumble and fade.
Still, our unheroic acts keep things
better then they might have been.
Here in February
I hear only the voices
of my friends.
