like a nun covers cleavage. winter The first time around reading this line I had to go back and reread it to make sure I read it properly... It seemed out of place then, but the more I read it, the more it fits. It's a bit blunt and that fits well.

the world is a numb white,
and so are my hands -
just as we forget what green
looks like, the feeling in our
skin falls frozen off the bone.


december is a cold-hearted
bitch, dolled up in ornaments,
wrapping paper, adolescent
laughter, empty wallets.  the empty wallets is strange here, because i still think you're saying december is "dolled up in empty wallets"


jesus celebrates his
two-thousandth odd
birthday, and it’s clear
that under all of december’s
ugly-girl make up is just "ugly girl make up" Love this
pine needles. fucking everywhere.
I really liked this! There is an apathetic and hateful/crude tone to it that really comes through. I like the lack of capitalization on the proper nouns... Adds to the overall vibe of "fuck this shit". Interesting take on the whiteness of snow and winter... I personally love it when it's all white from a fresh snowfall; the world is quieter and more peaceful to me, so it's interesting to be opened up to that other perspective. 
Thanks for sharing!
