it withers,
it winds,
it binds to us.
clinging to smells, the sound of your dad coming home,
christmas.
a mother's hug when your eyes get teary.
it's like having dinner with a blindfold on,
you know what you're tasting but not quite.
it all eventually blends together into the same taste,
and you just can't put your finger on it.

After many years of it's absence, there was that feeling-knowing and even breathing-thinking of childhood at least once this Christmas. All that captured in this astute poem.
So pretty, mysterious...and I love the visual.
