Joanne,
Another finely executed poem. Thanks.

two toys down his list
santa’s eyes scan
the young boy’s mother
gift certificate—
she shops for a babushka
in Bloomingdale’s

changes underway
overseas award
keeping even
the envelope
well into winter –
toddler runs
from grandfather’s outstretched hand
