After the holiday


After the holiday
We went skating
As the curtains
Were trimmed
Back home
To retain
Valence

In the sunless
Afternoon
We twirled
A flattened orbit
Trimming the day
Of wax

In whose care
Is this beacon?

The hemming
Was complete
Before we
Returned
Still
To a warm
And darkened
Hearth
