the sharp scent
of pine and dust
mixed with
spicy bits of memories
bitterly sweet like
myrrh and peppermint
they spill out
of this old cardboard box
taken down from
the aging attic
released on a seasonally
annual parole
filling this room
and trimming it
with more than
merely tinseled glitz

Ah…this one really hits the senses so very well…Merry Christmas and have a blessed New Year.
Thank you! You too!
