breakfast in a barrel and colored paper cranes
share the last day with a ginger
happy old year into happy new

this year's last days in winter's fist
as icy lips blow them into the next

The final three drip, drip away
outside my window pane,
as with next year's new day
comes lonely snow again.

A cup of black tea
to warm my frozen fingers

Holidays with family

on the face of an adult
the wonder that lives in the eyes

In uffish thought I stare past
a breath-fogged windowpane
wishing for the magic
of an icy crystalline world.

gifts wrapped out of sight
lights low, tree shines bright
curled up with baby tight
ready for a silent night

Knife and Fork went to war today
over slowly toasted bread
while pacifist Spoon hid
in brown sugared oatmeal

On the stereo eighty-year-old

mister cardinal takes his flight

chocolate steam wafts from
ceramic cup as marshmallows

hurried along by frigid breath
from the storm's wet mouth

to a mailbox makes cold toes
warm with a mug of chocolate
and two holiday cards

a bouquet of doorknobs
bits of ribbon, a teabag or two
I smile when I want to cry at
this ephemera and you

Leather, knits and icy wind,
roar of ten thousand engines,
Marines and toys for kids,
It's love of the ride.

Feel my fingers like wings
flutter across your skin
as I take flight.

from the street while the night glitters.
Every light can be a star to wish upon.

Hello is this thing on?
But today your epiphany
new battery in the translator

of memory and affection
a flower from a distant friend

Like a dormouse I climb inside
my teapot for a nap
close the lid while snow flies
outside the window-spout

Oh Santa here’s my Christmas list
Please won’t you bring to me
an industrial sized juicer
for my creativity!
