Looking
for Christmas
traveling
back through memories
one
found in the house-
on-the-corner's
living room
Christmas
Eve knocks as
the
front door opens to reveal
an
attractive older woman
arms
laden bright-wrapped
presents
frame her face
"Merry
Christmas, I thought..."
voiced
and received silently
waiting
car idling at the curb
turned
away door closed
her
face fades
as
that door closed forever
Looking
for Christmas
traveling
back through memories
one
found fades to black
in
memoriam Violet Ruth Earle
