Christmas Lights in the Morning


Points of light counterbalance the weak dawn, winking white or steady red and green. They lingered on through sleep, now out of place like those guests who do not realize the party has ended. Did sudden January dawn silence them like partygoers who talked through the night to realize the next day was shot?

The lights will sleep the day away, ready to party again at the sunset. I drive past on my way to work, having slept while Christmas glowed. Eyes of a million colors wink at me about the fun they had when the world went to bed early.
