The Bottom of My Stocking

We stick sweet to each other.
Two candy canes, forgotten in summer,
         Found together next Christmas
        Among barely working bulbs and
         Piles of fake fir boughs.
Now chemically bound,
We have grown
       Misshapen
       Grotesque and stale,
But still sweet.
