A Thing About Presents

to whom should things be sent
tied in bright ribbons, packeted
carried by doves from a celestial


dock? to the one with clocks

more clocks arrive, painted in more
tulips, to the philosophers,

new surmises.  apple cutlets

to the orchard keepers.
more snow where it snows.

this is how it goes only sometimes

to the unsuspecting something glows
under bare branches also


unexpectedly
