the gift of giving

gifts are hard
at this point in life.
what to buy for a loved one.
what doesn't she or
he have?
more baubles for the jewelry
box?
more clothes, more
shoes,
more books,
more blankets to keep
you warm.
gift certificates
to the local
massage parlor?
what is there in all these
stores
that she really wants?
i settle on
a homemade pumpkin
pie
and an enormous bottle
of red wine.
