Kit Kelen #1454 - three Christmas poems

1454
Christmas poems
for godsbother

1
never this day again

precious of the mystery
has to have been love

who’ll save the world?
say spirit, intend

the child is unembittered
cribbed of creatures

all adore
the firstness

o wonder moist
pure pointing pine

low, the comet
hung to show

all for one
and one for instance

empty, the head
of who’ll be king

everyone’s a guest
a gift

this moment
now

precious of the mystery
has to have been love


2
season of false consciousness

let’s start with someone else will save us
just say sorry
hang your head
adore this

build the tree
uproot to do
make all the world so white
say hallelujah and you’re set

once you’ve been bitten
no need to believe
these motions will go through you

lovely ideas
long suffering
a god of love
but nicely

how’s two thousand years
all rendered unto Caesar
mainly Murdoch, Rinehart now
and Microsoft, who’s next?

magic of
do they know it is (?)
and know not what they do

heathen savage
body, blood

drink this
it makes you small

but there are no flags in heaven
are you listening?
are you home?

where everything is pearly bright

still, peace on earth
good will to all
got to sign up for that

there isn’t enough truth in this world
to set one of us free


3
Christmas – an infestation

angel of
crush shoppers

shepherds watch

traumatic chest
put faith to test

trauma to
pin the tail

virtue’s rewarded itself again

winged light telling
see-through song

conform to joy
(the gift economy is billions)

warheads armed as well
forget today of all
a shallow doom until

some see this beginning again
towards an end of us

proud of the parts
and the ache
and the heart

you feel it
that’s a ribbon wrap
now tear

it was way back
ghost got through

glory shone around

just a moment’s inattention
and you will have believed
