| please pardon the cliche
but
its like a new lease on life.
The sky opened yesterday
and down
down
down
fell the missing pieces.

| oh it could have been so good
i still see you everywhere
but now i've strayed so far
only to be caught by grace alone
but in my mind eternal forgiveness
still embraces earthly fears

| The morning news about death in the family
( mine drips from my mother's lips
yours from the blank man behind the screen )
rings in ears
but does not touch me
i didn't know your brother
with the blood pooling around his head and crusting in his hair
because he talked to the wrong guy on the street
or the baby in my sister's barely swollen belly
stretched from the life of five others
Mothers tell me i should call my sister and express remorse
while pop songs tell me i am an island and never feel

| Christmas time is here.
Here is my Christmas present to all of you. The link at the bottom will take you to an NPR page hosting David Sedaris recounting his previous job as a Macy's elf. It may be my favorite holiday story ever. It is also in Mr. Sedaris' book Holiday on Ice. I personally recommend scrolling down the page to the longer 1992 version.

Happy Christmas.
