dreaming of Santa’s presents

beaten by relentless wind
just wants to lie down

distracting us as frost peeks in our bedroom windows
and brutal cold sneaks through every gap
surrounding us
until we are forced to surrender

though the world has gone blind
leaving beauty and light
in the dark
i still clumsily open my curtains each morning
hopeful
for just a bit of warmth

sun seeps through drawn drapes
gently nudging me awake
good morning old friend

my grandfather’s bones
are in the ground
still his dusty boots
wait patiently by the back door
longing to feel useful again
