And another thing

you know the one

with popcorn-cranberry

n sixties era icicles

fractured memories like

the time my DAD cut the tree

off too short, mis measured

and I toe-nailed the top back on

Then a week after Christmas

sweeping up the dry needles

to his quiet tears

and hauling out the tree

into the frozen welcoming
