are
things
we
pass
around
and
try
on
until
we
find
those
that
fit
our
reality

out
playing
among
the
Christmas
lights
seeing
just
how
close
it
could
get
to
the
bulbs
before
it
disappeared
it’s
a
game

night

darkness

hovering
above
a
mug
of
hot
chocolate
soaking
up
the
steam
once
it’s
had
enough

going
out
again
like
a
moth
drawn
to
a
flame
the
holiday
lights
are
too
good
to
resist
