Advent 4 A

signs

times up
signed or unsigned
choices lie at hand

angel signs
are iffy signs
believe it or not

prophet signs
are always later signs
well I'll be

kingly signs
are muddy signs
allowing high handedness

shiny signs
are distracting signs
can you be sure

speculative signs
are partisan signs
all too sure

times up
what sign
will you choose

uncertain signs
are our only signs
and choices are here

beneath signs
a breathless sigh
awaiting your choice

a saving sign
a damning sign
times up

a waking sign
a sighted sign
a chosen sign

a named sign
a G*D with us sign
a fleshy sign

we have met the sign
and it is us
a consummate sign

birth's day

now
the birth
took place
this way
. . . .

then
the birth
took place
in a usual
way

tomorrow
the birth
took place
in its own
context

whenever
a birth
takes place
we release
a next generation

whatever
a birth
means
comes
later

for now
your birth
is today
so what
will come

choose a sign
shine forth
enflesh a promise
for one
and all
