I know what you did last Christmas
After the Banquet
Christmas Day
Post-prandial droop
Listening to Ed Sheeran
For whatever reason
Bloated and satisfied
Below, family and friends
While I sit upstairs
Good to rest
Good to unspool
Good to be

"Snow prints"
Prints where frosty winds blow
It hunts me here, beneath the glow
A fragile moon, a cruel gaze
Piercing through the winter’s haze
I whisper prayers God will not hear
Yet feel its breath draw ever near
The window shivers and quakes
A sound the ice itself forsakes
The glass distorts its shifting face
A swirling mass, devoid of grace
Hatred claws, its envy burns
A thing that creation has spurned
Its growl cuts deep, a hollow moan
A voice like marrow stripped from bone
Inhuman mimicry calling my name
What is this thing's endgame?
I clutch the light, a candle frail
Its shadow dances, thin and pale
Outside it waits, a beastly grin
The storm a shroud for what’s within
The snow may fall, the carols sing
But in the dark, it spreads its wings
A winter curse, a hungry blight
Forever feasting on this night
