CHRIST IN WINTER:
Reflections on Faith for the Years of Winter…
DEATH BEFORE CHRISTMAS-a poem [T, 12-19-17]
The lady down the street
has died, two weeks before
Christmas. Her children
are clearing out her
house.
They have thrown her
Christmas
tree along the curb,
still green, but on its
side,
in dirty snow, stripped
of its festive trimmings,
‘cept
for straggly tinsel, and
one
small, missed ornament,
a smiling angel, peeking
low, through branches that
will soon
turn brown.
