Well now, looks like everyone had their Christmas displays all set up and ready to roll out Dec 1st. Not us, we prefer to take our time, then leave everything up until February… being leisurely is not something we can often indulge in, so we take every advantage, helps keep some semblance of holy in these holidays.
“Love’s Poem”
My once lover saw an old door, then saw a table in it;
he changed its plane forever like death does for us;
gave it strong legs to never move on and crowned it
with a cut-glass bowl of just-in-season fruit.
Years later, my friend saw this table, then saw
a garden bench in it; she studied long and leisurely,
planning her feat of hard wood origami; she sawed,
hammered and made it with nothing added or spared.
Love’s a like proteanism; the open promise of all
things to be its evidence, with a mere new morning’s look.
This new morning on our garden bench, we give
room to the bird-shit begun in the fig-tree above,
we give thanks to our births well-timed and placed;
we’ll give, good-grained hearts, till we’re taken away.
–L.K. Holt
