Gift wrap. Barcelona, winter 2018
Holiday lighting as the city gears up
its increased energy from within.
Drop down menus of string lighting,
remembered versions from other
years,
invented colors spraying
like ice dust off the rink.
The main thing’s always been
to nudge the real smile—proffer
the friendly hand.
A few last gifts need to be picked
up,
no denial of what’s ranged for
celebration.
Lights sparking the push, warm
houses
receiving the late guest. A sign
of welcome, a sign of worth.
