Poetry: Christmas

No tree this year- rain slashes the back door, a neighbor's string of lights fly against

her window, beginning the season

there will be candles, and music

there will be no gifts

there will be a feast, a crowd, many hungers, a few arguments, new babies.

Christmas, we will make it together, from whatever we can manage

some of us scraping for that cup of goodwill, some of us

rushing to buy it on sale

sharing as best we can the deep-colored complexity

of a family holiday, of winter's birth and our twinkling stand

against the early darkness.

    Drains my spirit, I fear
