Waxing

pagans hear the same
heartbeat, different emphasis.
LIFE-death-LIFE-death-LIFE.

up late this last night
celebrating wheel of life
towards yule sun rebirth.

working Saturday
fixed-point decimal data types.
we all gotta eat.

garry and the kids
are waxing alex's new car.
the old family car.

we deliver it
tomorrow to new driver
sixteen year old son.

glad we have baby
to delight us saying "gicky"
to the kitty cat.

glad big sister carved
face on white pumpkin herself
redwall ferret sword.

little sister mouse
scurries her treasures around.
eager to turn 4.
