last taste of chocolate
-------------melts on our tongues
standing back
admire finished product
glittering glorious
------box is opened and we begin
------round morsels of caramel and
--------------dark heaven
------fill our mouths
------each bite savoured
------tree stands waiting
------lights’ random radiance
------each item has meaning
------glass angel from grandma
------wooden skier from Helen
------fish hook
------pictures
------student gifts
------all find their place in the plastic branches
------the hazelnut in the center
------waits for the appreciative crunch
lights are low and the small white glowings
create space for our lives
our memories
melting
lingering
