What was different about Christmas for you?
This week held Christmas.
Whatever that holiday means for you,
I wonder if its essence was different this year.

Unsure, rough and gravelly?
Connection to next part unclear,
Yet arriving at place that
Is start of continuing journey.

One end of dining table,
Covered with puzzle pieces.

Broth from turkey carcass bones.

Inviting me to wish.

Happy to be out, “doing.”

Rather, how soon constant below-freezing temps?
