December
December Wine
Decant December wine
The best saved for end
of the year
held in fond anticipation
Traveling slick hills on sleigh rides
of old
Reliving the thrills over
fine age and spirit
A day we hold dear
it is worth far more than gold
I see a star pale and strong
hear glorious wind
made of song --
holy choirs singing
There is sacrament in desire
Wonders of will, of intensity
wild like the sweet breath
of winter
Drink in the joy of being alive
Betty dances
an instant choreography of our conversation.
Her familiar rhythmic motion seems to keep
flow of thought musically cohesive.
We play at soliloquies,
interweave of dialog,
tangential theme

Song of the Seasons
The girl who talked for days on end
Has collapsed around the bend
In a muddled pile
Out of the way
While her eyes sang songs of Summer,
Her heart was in Winter’s hold.
Her lips looked the red of Autumn
And her hair Spring’s spun gold.
A happy girl was she indeed
Helping everyone in need
To make them smile
And make them forget
And while her words sang songs of Summer,
Her heart was in Winter’s hold.
Her mind was well in Autumn,
But her thoughts Spring’s spun gold.
Still she left them all alone;
Finally returned back home
Where she is safe
Forevermore
Now she will forever sing songs of Summer,
Though she is Winter

Nothing impresses Russians
The air was crackling with excitement. Occasionally, thunderous applause sounded.
I looked up in excitement; however, the stage remained empty. It seemed nothing impressed the Russian audience enough to applaud at every shift of fog from the stage, and the applause rumbled through the densely packed crowd.
I wondered if this was a modern version of a 'rain dance'. We: the starving, thirsty, and anxious people who needed our thirst for music quenched by the gods. The 'gods' did answer; 30 minutes later. The swaying, writing bodies, flashes of stage lights, and thunderous applause drenched the occasion; it was beautiful.
It was truly wonderfu
