Christmas

i only cry on christmas day

because I'm supposed to be

i only cry on christmas day




like we never want to on

mondays to sundays minus

christmas days

i cannot
on any other day other

it’s col.d.
outside.
see that it’s cold

so we huddle
broken twigs
over the fire

so patiently
wait brittle
for our ash

then we
can be
together.

for another christmas.
