Eve of Festivity

dusk closes today with a black curtain 
whisky,grog,we can contain none 
sweet saliver of silence: 
the snail hardly noticed as it climbs, 
its december! 

the scattered pieces of this golden dish 
bond together  under the chanderlier 
over the dinning table 
like veins and arteries 
flowing through my heart 

the whistling winds  blow 
seeds to my nursery bed 
to blossom into this charming tree, 
one plumule stems branches of surprise 
like diamond stars of the skies: 
my open palm of many fingers
