Not a favourite month
memories of the start
of the school year
in Kenya surface
making me feel
distinctly unenthusiastic.
A way to reframe my idea
about January is to realise
It was a time created for rest
putting nourishment into my roots.
Not racing around achieving
as many goals as possible.
Allowing the rest
and rejuvenation to have
it’s full impact;
nourishing underground roots
knowing that when
Spring appears
my energy will return.
