a ~ By sea-girls wreathed with seaweed red and brown
We are all in the bed. Five people and one dog. One of us is trying to read a book, another is playing beep beep beep on his iPod, another is rubbing any belly he can reach, mostly gently, I

b ~ By sea-girls wreathed with seaweed red and brown
On Christmas Eve we bring up the boxes from the basement. Opening them is like revisiting old friends. The tree skirt, garland and star have waited patiently to adorn this year’s tree. The ornaments are unwrapped, hooked and spread out

a ~ We have lingered in the chambers of the sea
I do other things besides watch Doctor Who, in case you’re worried. The other afternoon – the one during which we lost power, and dinner had to be grossly toasted hot dogs and cold cereal – we watched an episode

a ~ When the wind blows the water white and black.
Today is a snowy, stay-inside-and-drink-coffee, watch-lots-of-movies, catch-up-on-internet-shopping kind of day. Marred only by a missing book and…. no, that’s it. Just the damn book. A problem which I have pretty much explained to the powers that be and can now
