Birthday Happy Epiphany after Christ-mas

Winter solstice came and went

A living haiku is this day’s light

 And,

As the 12 days of Christmas progress

(unknown to most is this lost tradition)

Towards another epiphany, January 6, 2012

We too live out poetry existential

Epiphanies minor and major I reckon

With whatever inbetween

(….) Babies grow up, hair gets grey, toe nails ache

Yet,

On winter solstice

Before American history recorded short cold days and long cold night

Cliff dwellers offered up prayers rather than

Running around like chiken little who might have thought the

Sun was going away into forever gone-ness,

Darkness and cold and nothing but death without light… “The sun is going, the

Sun is going away forever!!”

Cheers! My fellow contemporary Americans!!

As the days get longer,

The sun has returned,

with ancient Anasazi traditional prayers

(in the spirit world, I reckon)

Or something.
