A hollow womb
An empty tomb
The child is wreathed in swaddling clothing
His black billowing robes
A garbage bag
Sealed and crowned with a knot

he's a discarded savior in a manger
An aluminum bin clad in rust
oxydizing in stangnant air
Asphyxiating

The child savior in the manger
Lies beside the pepsi can
Unredeemable
Non-recyclable
Unworthy  of your five extra cents

Born of the "born-again" virgin
He has been unmade
And thus cannt be made into
Something more
Something
Greater

He has reached the peak of his expectations
A simple  complex of flesh and veins

A twisted membrane

The fallen savior in his manger
Is a blood clot

Flesh devoid of bone
A Metal throne
Alone

And...


Forgotten.
