Water the evergreen,
Impervious nettles everlasting;
Persevering harsh winter wastelands.
Doll it up in light explosions,
Festive cartoon ornaments,
Flickering faces of phosphorescent emotion—
Paint the yuletide canvas.
Watch nettles fall like strangled tears,
Reluctantly succumbing to gravity’s allure.
Splayed like broken bones,
This crime scene bleeds sappy evergreen.
Fragile boughs quiver in knowledge of demise,
Used like the world’s insatiable desire—
A greedy centerpiece that serves its role,
Glammed up for display, then tossed away.
