eliciting matters - 2

I passed this anniversary
of snowy white December's sphere
which had been on in January
a month to claim a whole long year

And this time rain had had it's share
when I forgot to count the stars
Though I had died in summer's air
I had my aches to fight off Mars

But there is nothing to relate
nor claims nor islands to debate
Because if folks yet fought for ground
it would be proof that they're still bound

Now back at nights is proud Orion
If he stays unfazed like a lion
and greets in silence with a twinkle
I might give other days a tinkle

8 sore bladders in a 9 months' mess
2 sorry suicides with acquaintances
1 great decision for the next year to bear
and so many others, quite unaware

some broken china throughout the days
and 0 smashed mirrors in any ways
bout 5 images, though, with concern
and 2 rather harsh lessons to learn

1 uncommonly fabulous music event
5 incredible hols of french leave to spent
some truly heavenly hours, too
and 1 great person lost that i knew

only 3 real nightmares in 52 weeks
and a fairly good few dozens of peaks
1 very important contract signed
and a billion of stupid typos underlined

2 new people to get to know better
and 1 never written important letter
an innumerable amount of kisses and hugs
and at least 2 serious computer bugs

perhaps 20 to 25 books to read
and as many of films to watch payin' heed
1 great little play arranged on stage
and 1 whole clutch to disengage

a fair million hands licked by the dog
and as many hours waste on this blog
this is what 11's accounted for
but, fully cleared, it was so much more

i thought about it.
it's true. there's no need.

i thought about it
as someone else's quandary.

i thought about it
as far as i concede.

i thought about it
on the contrary.

yours is made of old age
crunching apples with delight
mine is standing on a stage
abandoned in my fright

hells are always others
though we hurt and kill
fate and death are brothers
all our pains' their skill
