Stolen by Julie Moffitt

staid

twelve months
and

those stoic reins
come

out of boxes
tied

up too tight
with ribbon
wrapped

around their heads
like horses

we use them
for display

and

without emotion
they

turned their eyes on me,
nutcrackers

in a box.
until next year

in attics in the back
of your mind   they stay....

tall,

symbolic....
