After And

These peppermint chocolates

This tea

This left on lighted Christmas tree

Downstairs

Up stories

In bed

In head

Dumping worries, and fixing issues

Buying floss

Tortillas

Apples

And facial tissue

All life with new love

Old one causing strife

Same roads leading out of sight

Spirit gained

New connections

I had a better time than

Then up it swam

And down I slept

From four great days

Of holidays I spent

So it is

And now I’ve had a

Forward with me

It shall be and

after and
