Starsteered to the Christbyre 

Star directing Magi steeds

Across streetless dunes

Above streakless skies

Where Djinn sets hide

Their camels’ two-lidded eyes flaunt 

Sand immunity, but they are blind 

To the profound end of their jaunt 

Night cowers before that animate fire 

Time senses dawning a new empire

Guides them toward a byre 

Where a King retires 

In hay, humbly attired 

His curls gold-wired 

A child God-sired

Will raise the dead at Bethany 

Will rise from death on day three

East of the epiphany

The Prince of Easter feasts

The peach for which a goddess reaches

The doer of miraculous deeds

His vast reaches 

His last riches given unto us

His Mars Venus 

He opens the book of Days

He marks rightways through the maze

His palms trace the height of the maize

He calls up the sun over elysian plains

At pains to dismantle the false mysteries of Eleusis 

Lures for fish, this fisher of men’s souls cannot condone it 

He controls outcomes

His short demise divides the times

Those to come from those behind

They split along anno domini

Us and them, betwixt a line.
