circa 1989

A particular scene
she is happy
with a band of goodwill
geese, one in particular
circling a rock pool


A weber barbeque
he is going to cook a chicken
there is a sought out special found,  their home
there is  a mother, apron, long hair
A peacock call from the roof

a father, turning potatoes on the fire
laughing , for once, happy
a sister following another sister, walking
on toes, laughing joke the antichrist
following Nicodemus the duck
hot breathing green filled grace given
Solitary,
our stamp album
of the world wide Christmas card
long eulogizer
a stamp on the life of the this world
our imprint
us
children'
mothers'
fathers'
caught in a moment,
captured
preparing, for a special night
