nerves

belled
hanging off the ring
below
between
one lost by one of the reindeer
or someone celebratorious

cupped close in cold
but a hand reaches pocketed wrist
worried for gauntness seen
felt in the reaching out
how to reply?

no sunshine on my shoulder
no soap on a rope
not led by a collar
not licking
how to wish everyone
