Ticking off the
calendar
With the advent of New year
a new born elm, a smile always
welcoming all in the household,
looking at the corners of every page
a calendar in each room, a visage
of Messiah,holding numbers in wand;
some dates crossed for bringing tears
some dates marked highlighting events
happening and harkening, soft touch
is the heal. A
new face, new laminated bulk
new beckoning,
yet effacing old memories
impossible; a straight horse jumping into field
crossing all barriers, thistled hoofs, high jumps
over bush, speeding
fast to an unknown
destination; fog clogging nose and pathway;
wind across window
pane, calendars
fritter and face ordeal of hands and push.
They have a special place on the wall.
