ancient christmas baubles
memory-beacons
faded. far-off markers -
refracted illuminations - the softest edge of time.
light-years etched the faces.
flying forward
worn-out cardboard spacecraft
scented branches -
whispering.
‘no ear may hear their coming
as silently - how silently -
this wondrous gift is given.’
christmas-past re-appearing
the gaudy glow -
of ancient christmas baubles.
