Elveden
lightdrops:
sequential bulbs flashing on and off dangling
from branches electric white snow turns out
the best place to fake it is somewhere it’s all
being faked
cottonfloors:
beneath a cover of comfortable darkness
domed in the forest deserted pathways cosy
gentle hotel lights blackout curtains deep sleeps
quiet nights
spascents:
outdoor pools steaming against cold air new places
to nap new food old favourites noisy days active
days good body vibes cold but not too cold golden
sprinklings of –
skyfire:
over the lake oohs ahhs trees so many trees overfed
squirrels chasing squirrels patrolling peacocks ducks birds
a meandering muntjac on the golf course underneath
the window
tinyflakes:
carried on the wind creating an illusion santa on the roof
the best ways to fake the best place to fake the best way to
feel the festive deal is to first fake the first flake and the rest
becomes real
