Christmas Snow

Sledding in Central Park, New York
The way the snow
fell on the hill,
blowing high and low
trying hard to fill

every tiny crack
in the countryside,
left us with no lack--
now let Christmas ride!

My Devil Dog

My dog wears his devil costume.
Next year, I'll have to buy another one.
It is a job, as are brushing his teeth,
bathing him, taking him to the vet--all things
that are outside of myself,
all things that keep him here.
