Too Late
He, beseeching –
I raised my pleading eyes
as I saw you pass by.
You looked through me.

for understanding.

Is in oblivion and brewing war is coming

What child within us has not searched
The heavenly expanse
And felt utterly alone
In the face of its vastness?

For she had a negligible threshold
That supremely played...

decorating the tree,
wrapping up the gifts.
Staying busy to keep mind off the fact there's one less gift this year.
