post-partum Christmas
I wrapped up each ornament
in soft tissue paper once more
took down the green mistletoe
hanging over the front door
took back all the wrong sizes
the gifts two of a kinds too
came back brewed a cup of tea
my thoughts once more of you
threw out the last of the turkey
gobbled up the last candy cane
looked out the window at snow
i see it’s falling heavy again
swept up the needles that fell
that old fir tree grew pretty dry
I’m feeling postpartum Christmas
for new year’s resolution I cry
I watch a snow plow clear a path
so wish it could clear one for me
open the road up to my tomorrow
so somehow ahead I could see…

... Funny... I have been doing the packing-up today and feel GREAT!!!!!!! Like I've had a long, hot shower and good hairwash!! Can't be waitin for that sluggish snow-plough darlin... The heat from my racing bare feet is already tearin up the tarmac and I'm ready to rock! Look hard and just around the corner is that mischievous little cherub with a bow in his hands, waiting round the block to get'cha! Don't get rid of those scarlet under-drawers just yet, Valentine...!! Great poetry, Felix; your lines convey such natural thought patterns effortlessly. xx
