NATIVITY SCENE
time of war
hard to avoid
finding yourself
immersed in everything
images, text,
flooding in
from everywhere,
challenging
those last
assumptions about
how good
we are
how precious
our humanity
the targeting
of children
the heroic burial
of some
or other
soldier
strangely, suddenly
striking me as
the absolute
antithesis
of the nativity scene
