When I Become Santa
December 4, 2008
We move operations south:
to Newark, Watts, Bronx
East LA and ten thousand
other desperate places.
We will make toys
for souls.
Peaceful and playful
thoughtful and titillating toys.
Unafraid and knowing –
we will walk this earth
giving gifts.
Angel Friend – revised
October 9, 2008
I wish to have an angel friend
when it becomes your time
to go exploring on your own
to catch you if too high you climb
above this grownup world of pace
too fast to see a child’s face.
the mountains

the mountains watch us
grandparents in a chair
we play at their feet
