dying in the corner

i should
take down the Christmas tree
at some point.
it's been up
since
December.
the lights are still on,
but i'm
afraid to turn them
on, because of the fire
hazard.
there are no
needles anymore,
it's threadbare,
and bone dry.
i should toss it out
into the woods,
but i can't let go,
it reminds me so much
of hard times.
