Just One Place

We decorate our tree with brightly
colored flowers
that I insist you leave up
until the new year.
Fires and tea mugs to distract us
from the feet of snow outside; blankets
and socks when the heat breaks.
You surprise me
with bright lights
draped around the bed
and your arms open and waiting.
For the first time
I can say I’ve gotten
everything
on my wish list.
