she is decorating the tree with the safe one and the thrums feel
like christmas breakfast and respect and friendship. in her whole life, this is
the first time the girl feels safe.
the ornaments, the tree, the closeness. i feel her own self swell. she makes a
promise she should not keep. but she cannot unwind the christmas lights.
i scream, remember the
seams! do not get tangled, you know that, girl without ears. you know that,
girl who feels. bulbs get broken.
