A single waving hand.

a simple gesture, a

single waving hand,

come! come! come!

not inasmuch as we

had hoped "hallelujah!"

now holler back.

the frosted glass of

the patio door

the children etched

into with warm fingers.

the neon lights of

our abundant holiday

fade into the night sky

through the rearview mirror

it goes unnoticed

as all eyes are occupied

by a simple gesture, a

single waving hand.
