gazing at My son

By Carl Winderl

on
that starry starry
silent night
in
His stone cold

manger pondering
just what Is It

God hath wrought

in that slightly more
than a pound
of flesh, or so

about to be
some day, soon

in a couple weeks
or so
to feel
the knife’s slice . . .

as if some
sacrificial lamb

He will sometime be.

but til then, on
this bleak midwinter
night in the silence of
His Mother’s smile

I see Him there

enwrapped as if
some Handful of clay
created “how” . . .

but for now, cradled
in a swaddling 

of Flesh. . . .
