RIBBON

A red ribbon got caught
in the empty branches
of a winter naked tree -
and remained there high
above everything in
ice and snow, wind and
shivering shake - all winter.

Ribbons tossed with
Christmas wrappings
in garbage cans were
envious - so too ribbons
in girls' hairs. Little did
they know that the caught
ribbon wished she was them.
