My Christmas blanket upon my bed,
Gingerbread men with arms wide spread,
Each stitch, every row crafted by hand,
The bitter nights to withstand.

A sleeping cat, snoring lightly,
Curled and tucked up against me tightly.
Two snuggled up in sleeping form,
Struggling to keep one another warm.

The aroma of coffee at five o’clock,
Chugging and gurgling into the pot,
Enough to fill my stoneware cup,
And warm these winter fingers up.

It’s a soft whistle, high then low
a morning call, that wakes me
an ethereal echo of my childhood
the singsong greeting of the chickadee
And the books say it’s “fee-bee”

But a "fee" requires teeth to filter
A "bee" must explode through lips
Such consonants they assigned you
Could never be made by you
Which is why you sing “wee-woo”

(and I won’t even discuss the
unlikelihood of “dee-dee-dee”
my little chick)

Any bird, any color, your choice
