CHAPTER 24Juniper
SONG OF THE DAY:
“Christmas Makes Me Cry” by Kacey Musgraves
It’s so bright outside
it takes a moment for my eyes
to adjust.
Lyric is holding my hand
leading by just a couple steps
as we stomp through
thick snowbanks.
It’s midmorning.
The neighborhood is still
and sleepy. The howling of the storm
long gone.
Families no doubt inside
staying warm
playing with gifts
preparing meals
enjoying the holiday and
the new sunshine.
Wanna talk about it?
Lyric asks as we walk.
Can we just be quiet
for a little longer?
I can do that.
Lyric nods.
My mind is cloudy
but as my legs and heart
start to pump with the effort
of walking in heavy snow
