gifts

n i lived in a bun dance ... 

always showering people with home made 

cards and gifts that had taken hours 

n aunts and people would be shocked 

presented with elaborate phoenixes with hundreds 

of silver leaves as if they din deserve it 

n origami boxes of fresh truffles 

i can smell them now 


*************


n chinese dragon mobiles made 

from shiny paper 

n those felt animals n stuff 

Christmas would start about September ...
