Raga for Christmakwanaka

Beyond the lights and glare and joyous cheers

Outside the pretty things prepared to tear

It glows without joules or generators

Without lists and traditional movies

between gathered gifts and exhalations

mini mall masses travel plans, traffic

makes meaning of monotony, trees of woods

burning bright before menorahs first light

unquantified warmth while tilted from sun

unnamed it's ether a summoning drum

 

Before Christ birth or Alleluia sung

Close your eyes and see from glance where it comes

More precious than 34th street miracles

the motivation of cold breeze on leaves

The reason for seasons found in unity

Where shepherds staff birth red white epitaph

Where plants of poison rosy the living

When wise men exodus for genesis

Seven lights or Nine or just one big star

matters not the name or time frame in bloom

indiscriminately celebrate the Ohm
