these Christmas songs

that have you cheering
have you singing
have you remembering

Christmases

that were never really there.

blink

blink

the stars
the surface of
far galaxies
the touch
of a lover
the sigh
of stolen moments
laughing
at imagined conversations

this

you

blink*

I'm sorry,
I saw the stars and of things I don't think I shall ever see or feel.

you were saying?

#space

self/image

all too ready to believe in the worst in yourself

till the question becomes

who, are you?

shades;highlights

let me be your darkest moment
In the night
When you're alone

the absence
that makes one see
everything

precious.

tv

watching viewing looking
into

you

seeing you walk
talk, laugh

enjoying life

how can you be there
participating

you

going out there
doing good

living

how do you, me?

perspectives

why is the last light, that anyone ever sees their own?

because everyone else's is brighter.

for the burden that seems lighter

only to burn in one's own fire

hubris is,

placing the universe in a thumbnail.
