A Preparator's Christmas in Antioch

Looking through my bedroom window,
out into the moonlight and the unending
smoke-colored snow, I could see
the lights in the windows of all
the other houses on our hill and hear
the music rising from them up the long,
steady falling night. I turned the gas down,
I got into bed. I said some words to
the close and holy darkness, and then I slept.
