Grandma’s Pie
The tree extinguished
Presents gone
Dinner leftovers-
Christmas spirit wanes
Family stupefied by gluttony,
Dazed by the TV’s glare
Sprawling like discarded
Gift wrapping in Grandma’s
Living room: Matt. like wilted lettuce.
Luke, like a tired runner, Paul with
Head on a pillow, eyes half-closed-
The three magi after a miracle,
Weary and sated, praying they left
Some room for apple pie.
