Christmas in Idea
12/20/2023
the first crackles of.
a fire, an Electric
baseboard. the heat, not yet
Permeated, Beginning
to seep in,
yet no cold, no
boundary
keeps eyes from Flying, keeps
Kids from Running
from dark rooms into
a Swift Sunriseā¦
Sparkling Snow, in the early
morning light;
Trees, Only One Important,
Bright and Inviting, Stretching
arms out for an Embrace.
Gifts Twinkle underneath
named, signed and delivered,
from the frozen waste
It's a good morning,
In a good world.
