13) Christmas

long past the holidays

and yet a wire reindeer stood
with its lights on

in the blue-dark or morning

and a row of outdoor bulbs
hung from a gutter

over the black ice of the yard

while the cab sped through the Midway streets,
past the slipped houses

by the still flown
and weather-beaten bows

away from it.
