Family gathered last night for dinner. Was it out of tradition or duty more than yearnings? Some with childlike passion and wonder, some giddy with holiday excitement and one with a sharp tongue dripping with masked humour hurting the target who’s left screaming silently with a heavy heart.
Where has love gone
Forgiveness and bygones…lost
Tales of yesterday

Honey, it’s cold outside at minus 19 C with the wind chill feels like minus 27C. Each day since Christmas it gets colder. Nothing to talk about except the weather. She sits in her mother’s rocker with the paisley covered cushions; she tries to write but nothing feels right and certainly nothing filled with holiday cheer. She thought of journaling but same difference, grey tones mixed with dark notions not fitting for this time of year.
White landscapes
A winter wonderland
Outside her window
Lethargy filled days catching up with much needed rest. Sleeping, reading, daydreaming, weeping and watching movies filled her days. Whenever she tried to write, only the pain resurfaced, and so she escaped in her dreams and her stories on the screen.
Cutting the current
In her brain
she finds relief
A winter wonderland
Outside her window

Knits her thoughts
wrapped in melancholy
she waits
knits her thoughts
dropping stitches one by one
a new year
wrapped in melancholy
masking old wounds
and forgiveness
she waits
tic toc tic toc
countdown to midnight

Time freezes
Subzero temperatures
For awhile
Time freezes.
Midnight revellers
Numbed with champagne
Subzero temperatures
memories
In perpetuity
For awhile
Until twenty eighteen
A new chapter
