Christmas Past
Those were heady, evocative times;
ensconced in a large, predominantly-female, matriarchal family,
on occasion, I'd spend Christmas in one house with all of them.
There were plenteous preparations to partake in;
endless chatter, raucous laughter, joyous games.
I loved it all, though usually from my favourite position:
having taken part, I'd invariably find myself curled up in a corner somewhere
with the latest Records book, fun facts or mind puzzles.
While others joked and laughed and played,
I'd frantically try to drink in the atmosphere and...
ensconced in a large, predominantly-female, matriarchal family,

There were plenteous preparations to partake in;

Cookies for Breakfast
Insomnia steals her focus
the whole of December ~
three long weeks this time.
Tired, she makes her way
to our trailer’s tiny kitchen,
baking her almond spritz cookies
and carefully twisting leftover dough
into puffy candy cane shapes.
I steal my gift from her that year
and learn how to make the best of things.
the whole of December ~
three long weeks this time.
Tired, she makes her way
to our trailer’s tiny kitchen,
baking her almond spritz cookies
and carefully twisting leftover dough
into puffy candy cane shapes.
I steal my gift from her that year
and learn how to make the best of things.

Merry Christmas
Everyone wants to live forever
Trying to avoid the great unknown
Castles of silver, streets of gold
The doubts permeate your mind
Was I good enough to make it in
Or was my life to abundant with sin
Will I rise up to the heavens
Or fall to that boiling lake of fire
Will I come back as a butterfly
Or a pig fattened for slaughter
Maybe there's nothing
Spirits floating around with
Zero, zilch, nada to do
Or maybe I could be stuck in purgatory
With noone to free me
If I am reincarnated
I'd want to be a cow in...
Trying to avoid the great unknown
Castles of silver, streets of gold
The doubts permeate your mind
Was I good enough to make it in
Or was my life to abundant with sin
Will I rise up to the heavens
Or fall to that boiling lake of fire
Will I come back as a butterfly
Or a pig fattened for slaughter
Maybe there's nothing
Spirits floating around with
Zero, zilch, nada to do
Or maybe I could be stuck in purgatory
With noone to free me
If I am reincarnated
I'd want to be a cow in...
