neon pulses bleed into the damp air

Exactly what I wanted.

wooden floors preserve foot-fossils of ancestors.
A fresh coat of paint cannot muffle yesterday's fireplace carolers.
Our stockings hang aside the stocking...

Never can you see me, I’ve no form left to gain
Look up… look up… and miss me, resound with the air
