Noel

 

Incandescent lamp-posts glow

Brightly through the shower of snow.

The tombstones, wet,

Reflect a flash

Of fake resuscitation.

The pale scene vaunts

Beauty unmarred,

Unstained by obscene flesh.

How perfect and pristine! –

Unspoilt by bestial notions

Of God dropped in the hay,

And livestock’s smoky breath

Set to thaw Death.

Epiphany

 

In inky shadows sages scratched,

Got drunk on mythic wines.

Philosophies were sometimes hatched

From patterns in the signs.

 

Yet three, drawn on by astral light,

With minds as clear as day,

Traversed the sands to catch a sight

Of Truth in swaddled clay.
