- *12 Days of Christmas Memories

Abid Khan
On the first day of Christmas my true love gave to me
a walk across a snow lined road and icy sidewalks
under a dark sky full of silver stars
with my breath hanging around my face
like wedding veil stitched by hand and not machine.
My true love had forgotten to pick me up from the bus stop
but it was a beautiful gift none the less
that he would have never given me
on purpose.
