roaming tabletop
persian’s taste for dainty things
the french-pressed coffee
soft black fur prowling tea cups
be careful kitty, it’s hot
Santa's sleigh crashes to a rooftop.
Down the chimney he goes with a plop.
A woman stands in the nude
She's smiling with a plate of food.
"This Christmas we do it on the tabletop!"
Did you see how that cookie crumbled,
and then tumbled, and tumbled, and tumbled,
from the tabletop down to the floor,
and then tumbled and tumbled some more,
and did you hear the "Oh no!" that she fearfully mumbled?
I see a legion
Of paper people
Marching across the tabletop
Hysterically yelling
About their war
On parchment rights
Etched on their fibered faces
Were faithful ideas
Expressed in characters
And behind the paper army
Stood its commander
Who held nothing but a pen
-
A stemless blueberry
Eyes the slope of the bowl
Dodges the hurried spoon
A tidal flow of milk
Frustrates his attempts
Catching a wave
He rides its curl
Rolls onto the tabletop
Milky fingers clutch at it
A stalking spoon
Flips it into the air
A moment of freedom
The warmth of a dog’s tongue
As I listen to the waterfall,
Sitting on my tabletop nearby
The water flows to relax my mind
As it settles with answers I find
Gratitude fills me for all support
I receive with all I report
There are those who go the extra mile
To care for others and bring a smile
I give my thanks to everyone
Who genuinely shine like the sun!

Each night she left him bleary -
his mind foaming in a glass
of Guiness.
Disappointments wore her life thin,
nuptials picked to a fugue and dinge,
by his thick-tongued spiel.
“I can change him.”
Nothing changed.
Long she withered and waned.
Friends doled out sympathy
like spreadable butter,
yet her bread was dry.
Long she withered.
Daily she wiped
a vinyl calico tabletop
wet with spilled beer
and self-pity.
She got a second job.
