Cuffing Season
I was a virgin and you were the tree
Present together
For one moment
Like the birth of a star
I picked up the cranberry that sat at your feet
Then looked up
At the tinsel wrapped around your trunk
And the lights in your eyes
Now you leave withered
No more branches
Just a cane
As I sing my carol
And say so long
