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
