A procrastinator gives thanks every November

I'm grateful for
January, March and December
for giving me extra
days to catch up,
for February that cuts
winter's grief short,
and September to remember
golden autumns past,
and for May when spring's warmth
returns — at last,

and every month
that adds to the years,
hopeful that I may live long enough
to let go of my fears —
and all my stuff.
