magical thinking

if she was a holiday,
she said,
she'd like to be called

christmas.
pretty lights
and gifts.

tinsel and snow falling.
the carols

the fire.
the warmth of family.

a healthy glow.
warm cookies on the stove.

but she wasn't a holiday.
she was more

like monday.
in the middle of march.

when the harsh
winds blow.

the streets piled with
the slush
of old grey snow.

full of  misery,
self absorbed and
full of woe.
