Once, I brandished light, /
large for the holidays. /
Now, just a small one.

Waiting
Waiting for blood draw /
in Santa’s sad waiting room. /
Ho-ho-hole in me.

Layers
Pastels paint the sky. /
Silhouettes smudge empty limbs. /
Fall layers the dawn.

Blush
A blush of fall red /
highlights the Maple tree’s edge. /
Soon embracing all.

Old man
The sun peers over
my shoulder, an old man who
gives heat as advice.
