Chenay Bay – Fourth day, Christmas Day

Green Cay Marina
walk. J gets stung, M watches
A Christmas Story.

Big death, little death

Sleep gently takes you,
like the lethal injection
you cannot resist.

Packing for vacation

separating the
non-essential from the much
needed is painful.

Christmas triage

Not enough time for
cookies, cards, decorating.
Which one do I skip?

A Christmas story

If I could shoot my
eye out with that thing, I’d just
sit and watch TV.

Holiday spirit

Like catching snowflakes,
this melts quickly from the heat
of a stressful month.

See hear taste smell touch

If you had to pick,
what sense would you sacrifice?
Impossible choice.

Clean sweep

My spare bedroom holds
many possibilities
under all that junk.

Substitution

Sometimes, the hunger
that compels you to eat a
cookie is sadness.

Protection

Soldiers wear helmets.
Women wear makeup, styled hair.
Our mode of defense.
