Aw come on, try to love me

Here I am, in the holidays, my favorites

with the red and green and blue lights 

and papers and presents; listening to this 

music again, Burl and Bing and Enya again;

calling up that cozy-candled night out of
the past (remembering it wrong) and

beating the cozy drum 

one more time for the future 

or a peaceful right now, but 

sometimes

sentimentality aside

like - way over there

my family ain’t worth the paper

they’re written on. 

Anyone got a match?
