Desolate

For all

intents and purposes

he views the holidays as done

(even before they’ve begun.)

The light-hearted party’s con-

cluded, all the friendly laughter

and cordial conversations faded

away, burnt down to ash and

cinder; the lightsome guests,

family & friends, have

all gone home and

once again, he’s

wholly alone,

abandoned,

having been

(contrarily)

de-

lighted.
