Holidays 

Christmas and New Years 
come but once a year,
And even that is to much.

I have aged
I moved north to forget 
failed marriages 
failed relationships 
failing health. 
My children left
towards their own lives.
Expectations
narrowed
simple existence grew 
smaller.
I draw more inside my own soul.

I'll hold my breath for a few more days 
Until all this vanishes into the short 
Days of this season.
