a gift

Past pale dawned stocking laughter, the family gathers once more on our bed.  Oranges and apples and chocolate-coins tumble and a little baby looks up in adoration at our milky-breasted eldest.  He twists.

A Villa tooth-brush and matching rosy-apple sweets fall into the hands of our son.  He is happy.

The present spinning, and by turns we venture through Christmas together, gathered at the foot of our bed.
