On Christmas day the Kroger parking lot is empty
and I’m in a shopping cart
watching clouds
dart by and listening to you
your racing footsteps
and the rattling wheels
and we are laughing
creating shapes
with the fog of our breaths

Don’t often see Christmas poems, or anything wintry in June here. It’s refreshing and enjoyable, this snapshot of your holiday.
Thanks! It’s actually a memory from years ago I usually reflect on when I’m back in town and go to Kroger haha
You’ve really captured a memory here. I particularly loved the last two lines.
Lovely memory poem from childhood. It captures a child’s perspective wonderfully.
