Yonder Thy Houses In the South

Yonder thy houses in the south
Santa heading from north
Grandfather stoking the flames 
Songs of joy and praise
Whiffs of peppermint and mocha
Presents under a wreath
Flakes melting on palm
Earth still and calm


Yonder thy bridge in the west
Flame in the eyes of a child
Drunken and the lost gather round
Bitter snow reminiscent of sweet dreams
Wishes and prayers of suns return
Yet stars only visible in the south
