Maybe I need a break
Go somewhere
Look at lights that others
Have put up
Phantom merrymaking
On my part
No, wait, they were put up
For me and others like me
To go by
To gaze at from afar
Appreciate the rainbow lights
Against the snow,
If snow,
Against the dark
Of night
Of loneliness
Of season’s night
Of season’s loneliness
That say, we’re here
And some of us
Are here for you
