numbered

my true love gives me
much more
than
a patridge in a pear tree
for example, when

eyes open
to dawn's light, my mouth says yes
to purple skies outside the window
yes to dean martin hiccupping in my heart
yes to tap dancing in the park
hence a guarded reply
to his gestures
that suddenly seem quaint and off
and quite numbered

Christmas Countdown

My true love gives me
much more than
a patridge in a pear tree.
For example, when

eyes open
to dawn's light, my mouth says yes
to purple skies outside the window
yes to dean martin hiccupping in my heart
yes to tap dancing in the park .
Hence a guarded reply
to his quaint gestures
that suddenly seem odd and off
and quite numbered.
