Deck the Halls
A red Escort hatchback
broken
on an icy hill
lined with reindeer lights
the last dog-eaten
motel room in Barboursville
a bedroll between
a brittle blinking
Technicolor
spruce
and a bubbling
neon saltwater fish tank
a Yule log wheel
kindled
with holly
on a bonfire
kept alive
while suns stand still.
a tartan wreath
woven with dream catchers
and dried heather
gold snowflake ornaments
on a cracked lamp
a red good luck knot
for a new year.
