Boxing Day

It's Boxing Day, and down the stairs,
the dog, in Christmas luxury,
extends his barking voice, to greet
the absent postman's hated, absent van,
and through the window,
like a gleaming jewel, set
amongst a bracelet filigree of winter trees,
the blinding winter sun, lights up the sky,
backdrop for a flypast, in fine formation,
of my glorious racing pigeons.

Like souls, in the freedom of eternity.
