broken butterknives
scattered through the drawer
sprigs of mistletoe
trampled on the floor
The first two lines came to my head this morning, apparently from nowhere. then I knew I wanted to rhyme with floor, and the word trample seemed to fit the mood. mistletoe is a word that looks cool, and trampleable. i had clumps at first, but my roommate offered sprigs, which makes a better contrast.

Hey, so I'm thinking of resurrecting poetry chill evenings at MCXL. I was thinking of Thursday nights after 9pm... not necessarily every week. Interested?
