christmas comes, seemingly
with shouts at shopping mall sales
buying for children
becoming children
while children sleep and wonder
“Santa doesn’t stress”
because why would he
all of the elves to help him
while we cover it
quietly happens
spreading like deadly virus
where death brings new life
Community: New
brought to life by a baby
who cried, lived, and died
now we exist: Free
from prices, credit, pressure
gifting has been done
our gift comes daily
hello, or conversation
relating from love
So wrap your presents
But remember this also:
“Jesus is coming”
words from wick
