It used to be February
My least favourite month
The month my husband nearly died
The month my daughter nearly died
The month she was molested by a stranger.
I would dread Februaries as a cursed month
A month that had to be endured.
But it has been superseded.
November is now my least favourite
The month of 'would-have-been-days'
The month of tragic anniversaries
The month of birthdays crossed out in diaries
And I dread it more, as it is more cursed.
A month that has to be survived.
