getting ready

i hear
that Christmas is right around
the corner.
i take out
my Charlie brown tree,
my fruit cake,
my snow globe and a string
of lights.
i'm almost ready.
i clean the chimney
nail a stocking
to the mantel.
i send out some cards
from a list that grows
smaller and smaller
by the day.
it seems like yesterday
when i did this
same thing.
i wait patiently.
i look out window
into the star washed sky.
i hope as i always do
that someone
will appear.
