Xmas List

for you
my Thank Goddess You Finally Arrived
But Where Were You When I Was Seventeen???
mate for life
miniature Hershey's with no nuts because you're allergic
and Rolos and yogurt covered pretzels
for your stocking
and Ren and Stimpy's More Stinky Stories
and that Flash comic book toy thing from Hasting's
and boxer briefs because you hate boxers
and briefs are out of the question
and me naked except for a big red bow
under the silver icicle draped tree
and for me I want what I already have
watching you sleep beside me
clutching my dog tags that you have been wearing
for two weeks now
hearing you talk to yourself in the morning
letting me take care of you in small ways
running your epsom salt bubblebath
before bedtime
cooking your Ramen noodles in the
single pot we own
I am rich in all the ways I wasn't rich before
completely sated
higher and holier than any
goddamn yellow haired angel in white.
