Holidays

On my knees

After Thanksgiving

I tried to untangle

The Christmas lights,

Like my feelings

During the holidays

Should there be

Joy, when people are dying

From nonsense,

Should there be

Food, when people are dying

From weight bearing,

Shoulder there be

Lights, when people are dying

From electromania

On my knees

Before bed

I will try to tangle

The Christmas lights,

Like my hopes

During the holidays
