    funeral dirge –

    we bury the one
    who could carry a tune

driving home
from burying papa –
the noon moon half-empty

boot hill
one abandoned
toboggan

New Year's

an old habit

one last present 
he empties
her well-stuffed stocking

nana makes
grandma's recipes --

before
   santa
         bingo

first doubts
  santa sounds
     like Uncle Al   

no one here
to chop gardunes -
Xmas soup by Progresso
