~~ 1 ~~
birth of her firstborn
on this silent, holy night—
the pale young mother
~~ 2 ~~
a young mother’s sigh
consolation of cattle
two roosters chime in
~~ 3 ~~
the new arrival
a stray dog from the village
sniffing at the child
~~ 4 ~~
Laughing villagers,
oblivious to the child,
stumble to their homes.
~~ 5 ~~
(alone)
~~ 6 ~~
(scar)
~~ 7 ~~
(ingest)
