Read "Christmas Decorations" from The Yale Review

…Small hard fires
fastened in place of birds to naked twigs.

As the year closed, The Yale Review reposted my poem, “Christmas Decorations.”

Read it Now:

From the Archives [1991], “Christmas Decorations,” The Yale Review

"So what if you've stood where a door was being closed,
stood in the cold dark, cursing?
Be quiet, pick up and go.
The low clouds, the snow, are the color of fine ash,
reflecting the blazing city, and the bus is gone.
Know what you have."
