A rosy background with burgundy text of the poem, which reads: My childhood blurs / in yellow light and cinnamon air, / the year irrelevant. A single Gloria / holds all my Christmas Eves: nights / when we breathe dragon-smoke, clutch / rain-crinkled paper and sing / to our streets, two tunes / at once and all out of time. / This is the closest I come / to faith; out-of-tune voices / make the lyrics feel / true, make me wonder / if the streetlamp is a star, / guiding us somewhere. To the right of the poem is a sketch of a Christmas tree.
