The Innkeeper, Immanuel and Herod
The Innkeeper
points through his doorway
from out of firelight, laughter,
to a cold manger.
***
Immanuel
She rips strips of cloth,
placing Him, wrapped, in cradle
of rough, nailed wood, straw.
***
Herod
grips jeweled pommel
as the wise men go, anxious
to worship also.
