Dear November,
I have not forgotten you! Quite the opposite: I know you are here, the time of the soft light and the low sun, and Orion lying on the ridge each evening. I am happy to know you, November! I have been busy, because you know how it is, December is coming, and November, as usual, is mainly used to prepare for December and January. But, you remain a favorite, and I have been shopping for gifts for you!
This year, I thought you might like a pink tortoiseshell comb, a rain coat, and a jar of crunchy chili condiment. I also thought you might like this link, to a wonderful poetry project at the MoMA. I got it from a friend, and I hope you enjoy it.
Until later this month!
