Birthday Card At Christmas |
| Got a birthday card at Christmas… it made me think of Jesus Christ |
| It said, «I love you» in small letters. |
| I simply had to read it twice |
| Wood smoke curled from blackened chimneys. |
| The smell of frost was in the air |
| Pole star hovered in the blackness. |
| I looked again… it wasn’t there |
| People have showered me with presents. |
| While their minds were fixed on other |
| things |
| Sleigh bells, bearded red suit uncles. |
| Pointy trees and angel wings |
| I am the shadow in your Christmas. |
| I am the corner of your smile |
| Perfunctory in celebration. |
| You offer content but no style |
| That little baby Jesus… he got a birthday card or three |
| Gold trinkets and cheap frankincense. |
| Some penny baubles for his tree |
| Have some time off for good behaviour. |
| Forty days, give or take a few |
| Hey there, sweet baby Jesus… Let’s share a birthday card with you |
