Merry Christmas

Now my Christmas poem for 2005. A blessed holiday to you...

Instead of crosses on gold chains
we should wear tiny caves,
small hollows against our chests.
The empty space for the womb after
Mary delivered the child.
The hollow chamber for the stable after
it hosted the birth.
The spacious sepulchral of the tomb after
the women arrived at dawn.

--Michelle M. Hargrave, 2005

I like this one a lot. I like the imagery here.
