1)Kelvin Fowler: Two Poems









Words






Mary's mindful miracle maybe miss leading


Bethlehem's bastard boy born beneath a star


stored and stacked in a stingy stinkin' stable


but beautiful boy became big


and bashed backward backsliding bureauracy


the Christ cross-bearer crushed and crusted in crimson blood


suffered surrendered secured the senseless sin of this sinister world


pierced in the possibility of peace per person personifying personal piety


earnestly eagerly enthusiastically encouraging an encounter with eternity







Mary's mindful miracle of mercy merely means



perfection passion peace pardon paradise




-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------




Immanuel

Immanuel
God in his majesty
God in his humanity
God with us
God in his completeness
and humanity in her fullness
Immanuel
Immanuel
