Category: hello, moon

nothin a Sharpie can’t fix
moon. heck—
the smell of a Sharpie
can brighten a room…

(Jim didn’t get very far)
(on the Christmas cards)

some people you meet are fancy
moon. some people you meet
are fine.

thank goodness
for jokes.
and filters and
smokes.

and everything
just the right size.

some people’s kids will rant
moon. some people’s kids’ll
rave. some people’s kids
are people’s kids.

(can’t predict how they’ll behave)

boil us up some hot water
moon. mix us a cup of chai tea.
you know we’ll be back.
with scarves, mittens
and hats:
still cold
as cold
can be.

halfway done with shoppin
moon. halfway done with cards.
halfway done with wrappin and stuffin and
lightin up the yard.

halfway done with sprinkles and cookies and
eggnog and rommegrot.
all the way ready
to sneak away
and spend
some time
with you.

the city looks pretty in lights
moon. snowflakes and shoppers and
Christmas tunes.

use you to put on a shoe
moon. use you to open a can.
use you to lasso the twinkling stars
and boomerang into our hands.

ghost of Christmas past
moon. wearing fishnet.
and hat pins.
and missing a boot.

rough enough, tough enough, rich enough
moon. all the pretty, pretty girls
and you.
