Forgotten Christmas
Updated: Jan 21, 2022
Sparkly silver stuff. What’s it called?
Cards by the window? whose birthday is it?
Did you tell me? Why is that tree indoors?
I don’t understand.
I’ve been given shiny glass balls. Hang them
On the tree she said. Which tree? I move to
go to the garden. The woman pulls me back
No here she shouts and drags me to the indoor one.
Have I ever done this before. There are songs playing, I want to sing along, but the words elude me.
The man in disguise with the big white beard and red coat hands me a present
Why?
