December 28th

 

 

December 28th celebrated in some Christian

churches as the feast of the Holy Innocents
.. those 2 year old baby boys
slaughtered by Herod
in his mad search for the little
Jesus.. He had been told of a prophecy

that a boy that age would grow up

to defeat him.

 

December 28th.. when little
baby trees.. slaughtered
.. begin to show up on the curb

 

their resident flightless
baby birds and squirrels
smashed or scattered

 

other trees' green flesh turned
into ephemeral wrapping paper
and Christmas cards

 

.... forests shattered
