ON A GUSTY DAY IN DECEMBER
Atop a ladder, Jack, with hair askew and frownful countenance, leaned in to fend away resistance. Wrestling with the wind to hang the Christmas baubles, temper too acquired momentum. As his banner flew, three letters pirouetted out to bend around his backside, shining end to end. A passer quipped, "Got JOY in there with you?"
I wonder, does it show that she has earned a front-room space with me? A cozy bed among the other beds, a comfy chair, a plate -- so little asked, so much returned. In peaceful co-existence, Doubt and Dread and Anger hold their tongues when Joy is there.
