Poem: Xmas, 2025

Dec 28, 2025

Walked under the shade of a decent
canopy; trees doing their work.
The dogs spotted the dead cat

before I did. One took a bite at it
to be sure. I had the first
Genesis album in my ears.

It was early enough
on Christmas Day.
Presents unwrapped, although

the dogs sure thought they’d
found one more. Grateful for all
I have, and for the break.

Someone’s pet not coming home.
Symbol of everything Christmas
wishes never cover.
