Xmas Eve in Baggage claim ‘H’
Hawaiian Xmas carols for a hot hawaiian Xmas
HNL international
85% humidity
78 degrees
I am not at home yet
with snow boots and
lined coat
the aloha print wear is sticky on the inside
perspiration of a day’s travel
beads on the waterproof finish
rolls down my arm
Tried 4 times to write a deep poetic stanza
couldn’t inspire much
the crowds die down circling the aluminum tracks
bearing gifts, memories, diapers
Xmas eve in Baggage claim ‘H’
not quite home to Hawaii Nei
