There’s spiders
Tangled up
Tinsel
It’s all in there
Of course
Folded away
All waiting
For the big day
If only
We
Can find them
In time.


The author's comments:

Lots of things get stored up in anticipation of family gatherings, not just decorations. In this way, the decorations and other trimmings we only pull out a couple of times a year for these events become a metaphor for the kinds of emotions or memories - the good and the bad - that are stirred by these events.
