A Girl At Christmas Poem by Ishion Hutchinson
A Girl At Christmas
The choir that cannot die.
Fish and fennel. Snow. Christmas
tree, clover and pomegranate.
For all she's gladdened: milk
which is love dreaming in one
hand; clefts of clementine stain
the other. They cannot die,
these tribal ornaments, coral
joy, battering ceramic, peach
bones. Scotch bonnet seeds.
She then belts her savage choir
and dances herself into a festival.
