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
