Christmas Eve
She adorns a conifer
with bright red apples
hung from stems
and glistening garland of snake skin.
The top is is a pristine ribcage
(save one, broken at the bottom)
illuminated from the inside
with a single bare bulb.
Beneath,
she places a single gift for herself
and decides whether she should open it tonight
or wait until the morning.

- Robert A. Geise
- Having graduated from the Richard Stockton College of New Jersey in 2005 with a Bachelor of Arts in Literature, I am a Professor of Remedial English at Atlantic Cape Community College. For three years, I participated in SightLines, an interpretive show of artists and poets that showed in the Long Beach Island Foundation for the Arts and Sciences and the Atlantic City Art Center. My work has been published in INFERNO No Boundaries and Artella's online poetry web site. I live in Corbin City with my family; the house is full of men, cats, and a dog named Soph.
