HaibunChristmas 1996by Marjorie A. Buettner, MinnesotaChristmas eve, a full moon casts a shadow as deep and asblue as an ocean at night, a foreign blue from out of a dreamlandscape which I cannot identify but which looks so familiar.Not another like it on Christmas eve, says my husband, until2104. We hang tenuously over the edge of the bed like sailorsover the railing—straining to glimpse a future that is not oursto see, while a ground breaking cold and a strange blue lightfrom a distant moon change everything.Christmas day—the gift I would have givenif you were still hereFamily Portraitby Lynn Edge, TexasThe flat-bottomed boat nudges the shore. My grandson stands onthe roof deck with my daughter and her husband. When the tourguide announces we are near the Lopstick family of WhoopingCranes, I leave the glassed interior and walk to the bow.The male is twenty-nine years old; the female twenty-eight,both near the end of their natural life. They are called theLopsticks after their nesting area in Canada. With them are twojuveniles. Only one in ten Whoppers raise both chicks and I amlooking at the Lobstick twins. My daughter and her family stillstand on the top deck and I hesitate to climb the ladder.pressing togetherfor the camera—my fake smile. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .Frogpond 32:2 49
