    The Bright Red Imposter

    The air is filled with gum drops and candy canes


    The fire sizzles: szzzz …. crack…. POP
    And I, only seven, wake to the soft, shuffling Christmas tree
    My flutter open like a hummingbird flapping its wings for the first time

    I take a playful peek behind the fluffy fur coat


    of green branches and ornaments when I find
    Santa??? Santa!!!
    The red velvet cookie addict

    Hiding behind his brown bag of goodies;


    I politely tap him on the shoulder,
    And wait for a jolly, Ho Ho Ho;
    He turns in slow motion: a frowning, guilty face.

    Wait , the overgrown man in the


    Red jumpsuit isn't Santa, it's…it's…
    Dad??? But who gives me the perfectly packaged presents?
    And who devours the pleasurable platter of pastries?

    The tears maneuver past my delicate eyelids,


    A sob struggles to escape my lips,
    And the bright red imposter reaches out in condolence,

    But I don't want condolence; I want Santa.
