Christmas future

Fast forward to the
next holiday in the stores.
Retail at light speed.

Daylight savings time 2 – Sunday 2 a.m.

How can one person
be so excited about
an extra hour’s sleep?

Trick or treat 5

I answer the door.
Offer kids cooked broccoli
They demand candy.

Desire

I crave silence like
most women crave chocolate,
dark, deep, bittersweet.

Domesticated Eve

An apple, as red
as it is crisp, awaits on
the blue floral plate.

Porcelain serenity

Only quiet time
to read tea ceremony
book is in bathroom.

Cozy

The new furnace kicks
on, and I rise to the warmth
like yeast bread baking.

Daylight savings time

Turn the clocks back next
week? I could use that extra
hour of sleep right now…

Bride of Frankenstein

The review called her
‘fetching’ – wrapped in bandages,
convulsing, bleeding.

24/7 coverage

Where would CNN
be if breaking news ceased,
nothing to report?
