Merry Christmas
this is a magical time of year
today I count my blessings
for a family dear to me
a husband who loves me
children and grandchildren
who I adore...
so many days I look at my cup as empty
when in truth it's full of the finest spirits
I have friends who watch over me
listen to my pains and turmoil
though this is no psychology club
you walk me through it
here in these sacred halls
I've found understanding
you are so much like my very own family
I wish to tell you Happy Holidays
and Merry Christmas

BASEBALL HAIKU
Years ago while attending
a baseball game this
haiku appeared on the
stadium screen:
Rookies first hit--
picked off at first
At a game with a friend
she scribbled:
Lingering rain
the game of catch continues
into evening

The Empty Chair ( for Amy & all who have lost someone )
Christmas is an empty chair
donning a dining table
during holiday—
Condolences haunt
as words, until meaning
fumbles between our lips
We flail at half-loss
as razor blades, slicing
inadequacy apart
Yet, offer them regardless
to salvage the wreckage
of our helplessness
Praying our brave dearth
proves comfort enough

roadtrip antics
conversation drones as the road rolls
like a conveyor belt under the tires
music drifting in & out between words
a lull & voices suddenly combine
Sweet Caroline!
picture a car full of bobbing heads
swaying in unison to the tune
and I chuckle
this is my family
noisy & rambunctious
sometimes cantankerous
always full of bursts of love
and the car continues on
its soundtrack is still the song
as chatter carries along
and that moment when it stops
and again...
Sweet Caroline!
such spontaneous...

Christmas Day
Today is Christmas Day
I celebrated with my
family we had a fun
time remembering about
past times and eating
homemade tamales
We also watch
great Christmas movies
So enjoy yourself
Make good new
memories with
your family and
love ones for
Life is short
So live life
To The Fullest

Holiday Odds
One day a pig and a turkey in pens side by side find themselves talking. The pig ask the turkey, “what are you in for.” The turkey say, “I’m in for Thanksgiving.” The pig says, “dam that’s hard time.” The turkey ask the pig, “well what are you in for.” The pig said, “I’m in for Christmas.” The turkey said, “well that’s hard time also.” The pig said, “ no it could be a fifty-fifty chance for me.”

long term lease
driving to visit my
elderly mother,
passing a
graveyard,
thinking-
one day i will be
living there longer
than anyplace
else I have ever
lived...
but I won't be
living.

Do You Remember The Flavor Of My Skin In Paris
Surrendering of me as you part the ingress of my sacred Chi unto you
Your skin I ravenous the taste, my love
The closet to worship the silhouette of God’s beautiful first creation
Take me higher beyond the clouds, our body’s softly shuffling
Landing among the crest of the stars
Our breaths of enlighten we come
Bowing unto the skies as we call out Selah in union
Suspending me in the hereafter
Intoxicating me as I open the gates of my sacred temple unto you
Clenching me as woman to man
Infusing me tenderly with the...
