the week before
hanging ornaments on the little tree
the cards (so many) on the blinds
balancing designs and colours
making the division fair
reindeer and sacred babies
the reds and greens
pictures made without hands
crusts of sparkle wavey edges
nausea glistening
nausea glistening
presents
Reminded a little of the Wallace Stevens line 'Each man maundering in his asylum, policed by the hope of Christmas.' (Sombre Figuration, 1936, II).
