looking out my kitchen window

Jon Nakapalau

across the street
a father and son are hanging

christmas lights
both smiling

mom comes out with cups
perhaps hot cocoa 

and i think of my own father
and all the christmases past

when he was not around
and this is the gift

that can never be given
once the season is gone.
