there are some mornings.
when the only thing to do is sip coffee.
preferably from your great grandmother's holiday cup. and saucer.

and then put up your christmas tree a month early.

because we all want.need to believe.
that magic is real.
that good does exist.
that everything
will be alright.

first snow

'i am younger each year at the first snow.
when i see it, suddenly, in the air,
all little and white and moving;
then i am in love again
and very young
and i believe everything.'

song for november

'i spent the day forgetting
the dream
that woke me up.'
