christmas poetry

were it not for that singular smell
among the smoke and fog of a december afternoon
high walls and huge
three years ago today
all within and all without me
i shake my hair in the wind of morning
all down the years
sleep, gray brother of death
the fragrance came
are you alive?
i bid them all farewell
in their ragged regimentals
i love the old melodious lays
