Subject: snap nativity

wandering home
early morning with the newspaper
stop by a shop window 
to see a nativity scene
a star fixed to the stable roof
casts light across tiny figers
and there you are dutiful as always
standing at the crib

I often think of you that night
not the angels singing  and shepherds
watching sort of night 
but the night in a stable your wife 
having the baby
a not so silent night
and how you must have coped

no gas and air
no help if anything went wrong
you must have been frightened
wondering where that angel 
with the wings went
the one that got you into it
and maybe wishing 
if you had the chance again 
you would 
tell it to go pluck itself
