Cold Moon at Solstice
A Christmas ghost story
The dazzling tree at Jack London Square
Rewoven and restored
after a wanton act of arson

Wintertime Port
Listening here to KPFA
"Pig in a Pen" program
The host Ray Edlund is doing his last show
has been on-air since 1974
Bluegrass & old time music live in the studio today
I dance about in bittersweet celebration
Sentimental moment really
Colors in a twilight zone
walking home
Wind blew down the top of a tree
It landed right near my ritual matchstick pile
Replenished
Spied in a bookstore window
Relaxin at one's pad

O it's Lucid Blue
for the holidays
Christmas car today from Massachusetts
A Chinese lady at the bus stop gave me
a fine Lindt chocolate truffle & wished me
happy new year.
A nice iteration of fish and chips
Salmon & Matsumoto sweet potato
Blue Lake green beans with onion & olive
Ancient carols on the box
My go-to Indica these days
blends preternatural
with aforementioned Lucid Blue Sativa

Noel
Night Walk in the
business end of downtown
If you don't see what you're looking for
just ASK
Another corporate totem pole
sort of looks like a real tree
No one looks up at the top
of the Blue Shield building
sees the red and green lights
and feels a rush of Xmas spirit
Corporate Xmas is as empty
as the Christmas presents under this tree
Everyone's gone to the moon
Nobody's living here
for the foreseeable future
A haunted village
The best lit street in town
were nobody ever walks at night
The ghost of Christmas Present
Back among people
who are alive today

After a rainy day
I made my way to
Slainte for a proverbial pint
They've framed Samuel Beckett
It is actually a crisply focused photograph
made Blonde-on-Blonde vague
by the dim light
Beckett called Bob Dylan
The Poet
Irish singer rendered notorious
by impulsivity
& chastened by the mob
at the Bob Dylan Fest
Curious to see
how they resolved the arson-damaged Xmas tree
Saints and begorrah!
You'd never notice
Fresh limbs were wired in
O Tannenbaum!
New bows woven in
where arson once scarred
where arson once scarred
a Christmas miracle
Floating globes of color in a nearby
buche de Noel
Where the tree meets the Sea
horses
Scant traffic
Not too scary
down here after dark...
alone...after dark
No one will come from the village
After dark
