Hello!

So, uh, this used to be a tradition every December. 25 days of Christmas themed poetry. Started it four years ago, haven't done it the past two, but want to do it now. I've been in a rut. Please do it too if you feel urged to do so.

THE MIRACULOUS HEAT BIRTH
OF OUR PLANET;
i imagine
your hands'
moon and rays
wrapped around
the stupid animal
in my heart with
a certain amount
of pressure, for
a certain amount
of time.

Poetry is my cheap means of transportation. By the end of the poem the reader should be in a different place from where he started. I would like him to be slightly disoriented at the end, like I drove him outside of town at night and dropped him off in a cornfield.
