November Rain



Goodbye November with all your rain...


November Rain - Linda Pastan

How separate we are
under our black umbrellas—dark
planets in our own small orbits,

hiding from this wet assault
of weather as if water
would violate the skin,

as if these raised silk canopies
could protect us
from whatever is coming next—

December with its white
enamel surfaces; the numbing
silences of winter.

From above we must look
like a family of bats—
ribbed wings spread

against the rain,
swooping towards any
makeshift shelter.

  2. I was stuck in a nightmare I didn’t create. A former leasing agent never processed my roommate release after I signed the form and completed every step they asked for. I didn’t keep a copy. When I called the landlord later, they said they never received it, that agent no longer worked there, and because they couldn’t verify my side of the story they were going with the original lease. That meant I was still on the hook for a debt my roommate ran up after I was gone. The account went to collections and hit my credit reports. I asked about a pay-for-delete. They said they don’t do that. I asked the landlord to recall the debt. They said once it was in collections, they wouldn’t pull it back. I was trying to rent another apartment and this one item made me look like a deadbeat. I honestly thought I was stuck waiting seven years for it to fall off. Someone recommended Pinnacle Credit Specialist. I reached out, and within a few weeks they had every negative item removed. My scores went to Experian 800, TransUnion 802, and Equifax 804. I just got approved for my first house in the Pacific Northwest — $600k at 6.3%. We did it. If your credit is wrecked by something that isn’t even yours, don’t sit on it. I wish I’d called them sooner. Reach Out to them by email; pinnaclecreditspecialist@gmail.com
