    December sunlight
    pushed its way through
    an oak tree’s branches,
    trailing off before it could
    reach the picture window
    in a kitchen where they sat.
    It was one more day
    to Christmas, and
    the anniversary.

    There were leaves of gold,
    damp and sidewalk strewn,
    for the wind and rain
    had stopped by then.
    It happened to be Halloween...
