On Christmas Morning

I wake Christmas morning
to find a
ribbon
around you,
and I untie the bow of your mouth
with my tongue,
devouring your silk
and opening my present.

Your festive skin
is a scented candle
from the night before;
in peeling it away
I see your heart
and thank you –
just what I wanted.
