Advent Rae Armantrout from Poetry Magazine, June 2009 issue
In front of the craft shop,
a small nativity,
mother, baby, sheep
made of white
and blue balloons.
*
Sky
god
girl.
Pick out the one
that doesn’t belong.
*
Some thing
close to nothing
flat
from which,
fatherless,
everything has come.
*******************************
Merry Christmas to all!
