The Thanksgiving Call
Flurry at twilight, snow capped heads brushed
to the stomped upon mat

Waves of Autumn wash out,
as a fading sun collects black volume.
       
All our warmth in smiles, marrow-wracked,
legs gather by the stone mantel

The eager quick-claim chairs at her call.
Hunger sated with a final feast.

Harvest's remainder, shelved through Spring
on cool cellar shelves like treasures.

Beneath her quilts, reclined,
stuffed stiffs chew mints and marshmallow dreams.

Confections adorn the fireside table
for the tipplers and sippers of hot chocolate milk.
