Vignettes

Every year we think we'll get the Christmas decorations down sooner than the beginning of Lent. It seems we have yet to make that goal.

The Christmas vignettes remain
Around the house,
Stone nativity
In place;
Tree on the table
In the family room;
Tweed reindeer
From two years ago
In the living room,
Garland draped
Everywhere.
We figure
It will all be put away
By Lent.
For now
Christmas vignettes
Claim the house.
Wise folk stand
At the manger.
They take their due time
Before they go home
Another way.
Maybe Herod
Will miss them.
As they pass by,
