tree
still up in the corner,
not a needle
left on the branches,
bare as someone
getting out of the shower
without a towel.
the lights still work though,
the tinsel is a little limp,
but hanging in there.
the bulbs, the angel
at the top. i turn the little train
on beneath it just for fun.
it had a good run, this tree.
this fifty dollar tree from
st. bernadettes parking lot.
i got my moneys worth.
i've had marriages that have
ended quicker than that.
