Nativity
In the littleness of Mary
underneath the darkness
God is born
Herod searches the innocents
the disciples escape
shepherds come
Magi come
In Bethlehem
underneath the evil
the fury of rejection
is stopped
It only exalts
the King of the Universe
above the earth
In the meekness of Mary
God is born
Who is ready to accept him
except donkeys and oxen?
