***
|
||
|
|
||
|
kings are we
|
||
|
this band of three
|
||
|
our splendor gleams
|
||
|
for all to see
|
||
|
|
||
|
and we trek on
|
||
|
to yonder end
|
||
|
to greet the babe
|
||
|
in stable pen
|
||
|
|
||
|
some years with legs
|
||
|
some years without
|
||
|
lasered glass
|
||
|
or wooden cutout
|
||
|
|
||
|
Christmas lights
|
||
|
in constant prayer
|
||
|
ceaseless trek
|
||
|
up wooden stairs
|
||
|
|
||
|
every year
|
||
|
bodies grow smaller
|
||
|
featureless
|
||
|
Holy Mother
|
||
|
|
||
|
to ceramic slivers
|
||
|
we will all erode
|
||
|
no more gifts for
|
||
|
us to bestow
|
||
|
