take the tree down

it's time to take
the tree down.
remove the lights,
the ornaments, strip
off the silvery tinsel.
pluck the star
from her pointed top.
the limbs are dry,
with needles on the floor,
not one green, all brown.
it was a good run with
this tree. how beautiful
and fun she was
glowing in the window
with presents all around.
two months these days,
is a long time
for anything or anyone
you love to stay.
