nativity on her living room table

so quiet all around the stone manger
stone beards. stone baby.
starshine all around the stone mary
stone hands and stone head
the stone angel watches from an angle
the stone frankincense and stone myrrh
are offered in stone worship
and the stone donkey
nudges the stone wiseman
who is clutching his stone gold
with a stone look of surprise
in his stone eyes.

Across a thousand miles on a cosmic quest to find God made man. The stars cannot lie. But...a...child?
