and if they don’t they should,
for their feet are dusted with spices from a million flowers.”

ghosts.
littles
playing, creeping, tiptoeing
ghosts in the graveyard
scaring themselves to death
screaming, spooky, squealing, shrieking
so much fun.
“while it’s cool to think ghosts exist, i don’t want to see one.”

summer christmas.
is it one of the hottest days of summer?
is it time for our annual
christmas in july/august celebration?
absolutely.
with long-time friends
turkey dinner
wine
christmas cookies
stories
and
odds and ends re-gifts to each other
that we’re highly likely
to re-gift to someone else at a later date
no reason to keep the joy of giving all to ourselves.
