Persephone speaks:

Ah,
so it's that day again

spread out
the cards
turn over
the jack
& the
aces
speared
with spades

it only took a year
for christ
to find his gospel seed

But what am I going on about?
Ha!
It's Christmas
and hardly a moment passes
without ten thousand toasts

press your lips
to the roots
of everything
wild children

i know how hard it is to remember
my balmy cicadas
so sing along to the strings of your hopeful lights

may they burn pin prick stars
for all the saints
that will walk sacred sidewalks

may your tastes
turn
from salt
to sweet

may your face turn
from the ache
of then
to the honey sigh
of now

may forgiveness
rise
bold & certain
from the limbs of a winter tree

may you all
take this sky into your mouth
and close your eyes
in desirous reverence

ah,
blue

yes

Now that
was the true message
of Yeshua
