Not enough time for
cookies, cards, decorating.
Which one do I skip?
God rest ye merry
gentlemen? I don’t see them
lifting a finger!
Only if you’re not
the one doing the shopping,
cleaning and baking.
Like catching snowflakes,
this melts quickly from the heat
of a stressful month.
My spare bedroom holds
many possibilities
under all that junk.
Sometimes, the hunger
that compels you to eat a
cookie is sadness.
Inertia roosting
inside me like a hen un-
willing to lay eggs.
She takes such care of
me, reads maps, keeps track of things.
A good friend, and more
To eat or not to
eat? My stomach says yes, my
hips scream don’t you dare.
