Tall, prickly, coniferous green
Carrying the name of the holiday
Home,
And cheer,
Family,
Togetherness.
Hateful, hanging, couple bait
Blushing, bashful, giggling fools
Not me,
I couldn’t,
Don’t make me,
Okay fine.
Flashy as the brightest stars
Poisonous if it’s company is partaken
Alone,
It’s fine,
I’m fine,
Go away.

I thought I could write a poem about the parallel I feel is building between the holiday season and the state of the weather. Maybe I will still. But at least I can reblog in an attempt to be merry.
Hello fellow souls on this Christmas Eve! I am sitting here, listening to 16 different versions of the same song with my family and I thought I would par down the selection for all and sundry. Here is the definitive list of my favorite versions of Christmas songs.

A chaos of wind
ties your hair in knots round your neck.
Dried blood bricks tense
against a sheet metal sky.
Leaves whirlpool at your feet in a furious river
that snakes through the buildings.
Proud trees practice yoga,
downward dogging at the air’s dare.
No smell wafts
except anticipation of the ground exhaling.
There is no noise to notice,
all the birds have hunkered down.
But you still stand
staring like a mesmerized fool
who challenges the darkening horizon to come.
The sky stops breathing
and you know the future
a moment too late.
