There’s just something about drinking Craft BEER
Around the holidays, holly
and Ivy applauding
Oval lipped wreathes awaiting
Wide-eyed new year inaugural swig
(rose bowl) Vats of tinsel flavored beer
There’s just something about drinking (beer)
Screeching
Amethyst solstice pink
squinting across the panoramic dry eraser board of the west
peach lights fizzing into inky cognizance
Clydesdales sipping from the antipodal trough in the
nativity scene
Neighborhood Bar
transitioning into a diminutive Christmas village
Fraught with carolers and coasters
Drinking holiday beer on the obligatory pictorial x-mas card
Dissipated Puddle
around the pitcher of poured draught
Crimson Frosty Snowman melting in a greenhouse
conveniently located at the north pole,
There’s just something about drinking (Beer) amidst
Festooned wicks dripping off gutters in illuminated
pout, drinking
In the starchy nest of Santa’s lap
Supplicating Ewok Village awaiting sozzled
St. Nick,
lumbering down the brick chute
With a pony keg and 12 pack over the girth of his
shoulders
Something about Sticking
your lips
into a dollop tundra of foam
As if pressing your tongue to a frozen
water pump handle at recess, or
the amber holster of a Schlitz
Cozening him not to leap
Lips smiling head of duck
At the Chinese Christmas table
Severed in one wisp of the cleaver
While you wore second hand glasses
The Christmas story even you forgot
Kissing the cherry peppermint
breath of the elf you
adore
Hoping you can buy her enough (BEER)
To wake up next to her nine hours later
wearing only an ugly Christmas t-shirt
And panties her hair an unkempt
Halo sitting atop tree of limbs
A star of David shimming
in
The east of her eyes.
