May 2018
YOUR LAUGHTER LOST AMONG BALLOONS
YOUR LAUGHTER LOST AMONG BALLOONS
Your hand pins the Santa
to the living room door
his belly blossoming into decoration
your eyes alive with Christmas lights
blinking on & off
your laughter lost
among balloons
floating in an other world
& yet another Christmas
the same scene re-enacts itself
(without your presence)
presents lolling mutely
around the festive tree
each detail crystal clear
the dance of your hands...the music of your hair
turning ever turning
sharp as holly
drops of blood mimicking its berries
I **** my thumb to staunch the flow
memories red & real
as blood
Death sitting in your empty chair.
