Ashes and Wine by A Fine Frenzy

scotch

cold house
and
cold room

it is christmas

and
i have gifts
to give

nobody wants to receive so

with
paper cuts
on my fingers and

plastic
bows in my hair

i  wrap
myself

in snowflakes
and

400 thread count
penguins

(for you)

while

all around me
(snow) like foam
and

the empty feel of
December 26th...
