Advent to Candlemas (Vol. 2)

Image

The star sparked snow enholographed,
Nature's guile brought to celebrate
A child en-haloed in the straw
In decorously poor estate.

Yet I would take enphotographed
For stars and snow clogged clouds and clay,
A man enthorned in purple scorn
In torturedly rich array.

As snow is cold cheer enepitaphed
Stars map space into time's demands;
But God enfleshed in suffering
Unwinds a shroud with wounded hands.
