Bah humbug

"Something for me?"
"How kind"
Unwraps it
False smile
Sweet deceit
Muttered aside
To partner later
"I hope it has a gift receipt."

Failed Deathwish

Up to my ears
In blood red water
Dy(e)ing
My hair
The nearest I'll get
To ritual slaughter

Figure hugging

I have my mother’s figure
And I wish she’d take it back
Because under my matronly body
Extra weight, extra wrinkles - extra slack
Is my missing younger body
And I’d really like it back
But not enough to stop the chocolate
Not enough to exercise more
Not enough to start jogging, start yoga
Or find some exercise that isn’t a chore
