Feast of the Nativity

"Nativity" (revisited and revised, from 2023)

A baby, yes.
Unto us, a child given.
But more.

Behold the Implication.

Intimate detonation
in swaddling clothes.
The vast,
the particular,
the cosmic and mundane.
All interrupted.
Each thing atilt,
unmade, askew.

Hush now,
and listen.
Infinity echoes
in this infant's cry.
