The Holiday Postcard Tableau
Everyone cheesed
with wide Cheshire grins
I poked a finger
in sister’s shoulder
from back of the car
in a living room
.
Mom glared with a wink
pushing us to one
together with hands
directing movie’s
still photos to spend
just the right moment
.
One to send to Aunts
or friends reconnect
once a year to see
in perfect sweaters
or even a tie
with broad smiles us we
.
It’s tall mantle framed
for a cat to skirt
ginger steps ’round smiles
for aunts miles away
to remind us that
we had such a day
