TWO HAIBUN FOR THE CHRISTMAS HOLIDAYS<\/span>
by Charles Christian<\/span>


Shimmering in gold, two little angels \u2013 halos askew \u2013 frolic on a petrol station forecourt. It must be school nativity play time again. That, or the start of the Second Coming.<\/span>

          deer moving cautiously in my garden \u2013<\/span>
          their bones remember the wolves<\/span>

~ ~ ~ ~ ~<\/span>

Caught in the car headlights, an old man and his chubby dog out walking on a snowy Boxing Day afternoon. Over his shoulder, the old man carries a log. For the rest of the drive home, I keep a look out for King Wenceslas and his page.<\/span>

          raucous cries in a twilit sky \u2013<\/span>
          rooks heading home to roost<\/span>
