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 |
