Light Play

(Advent, 2024)


halo round garden’s pansies

                           glint in the eyes of ox and donkey

                                           flash of wings nigh to shepherds

                                       spark of star out back window

           now in paint’s splash upon Christmas cards —

warm weight of heart, eastward turning
