Christmas Dinner


The wind whined

like a dog trying

crying to be let in

aromatic birchwood fire

like a sentinel against the cold


Sweet potato steaming in a bowl

roast goose succulent and savory

sage in the dressing tangy

tickling nose and palate

pleasantly anticipating the first bite


Pine-needle scent stinging in the air

a fresh log sparking
