finish soft not strong

the year will grow dark 
like a lovers' room 
a beautiful failure 
of sleep

be tender and selfish: watch 
wants freeze and fall...
away like fugitive 
icicles

but come, don't let me forget 
how this week's thaw--like
last week's freeze--is sure
to return

Christmas Chaos

I hope everyone's Christmas was happy.  Our Christmas was. Little went according to plan. Big A had a terrible cold, At had bad allergie...
