Christmas Eve

The roads are frozen
A mystical serenity in this country of yours
the trees bare against the short days
And on the holy night
We drive to the Chinese restaurant
Dark, panda lanterns
Incongruously empty on this day of feasts
We order cocktails,
This is better
Than pretty tables full of turkeys
Our lonely Christmas in the snow
Just like it always has been
