lyrics

twinkly strings of light
branches spreading like
fingers from a hand
away from the tree
and me as i’m trying to see
my slideshow in the white.
a year ago it snowed.
and i awoke to a tiny christmas tree,
with a pullied chimney sweep...
i tried to dance with shivering feet,
to create a bit of cocoa heat...
behind me was a train of coal footsteps
in the powdered sugar floor.
and i still, still, still wanted more.
on the buried picnic table i wrote
“love will come again.”
without mittens my hands almost froze.
so back by pocelain village windows,
i returned to slumbering.
to wait for someone to be wondering
if my hands are warm.
the mittens she made
are burgundy and grey.
