Quadrille Monday for dVerse and I’m actually posting on the same day?  Will wonders never cease.  It must be because we had to use the word Tinsel…

Silent Night plays while
tears stream down her face
like tinsel cascading from the branches
of a Christmas tree

Where the silver strands hang on
hers roll off her chin
disappearing into her shirt
over her heart

It is but her yearly ritual
Remembering
