Baby Jesus, Thou migrant born, under the Red Sun of doomed Krypton

I was so attentive a student in Catechism class

How did this cataclysm come to pass?

Baby Jesus, Thou migrant born

Under the Red Sun of doomed Krypton

Must those who, Thee in Me, yet surmise

Be galled to recall we were once the same size

& as the Selfish Giant of our Common Past

View me alone thus aghast?

I hid my heart's horcruxes in whom to hurt none need
I am that Goliath saved in David's seed

Who to ward myself, not a mutual wound bewail

Became the hammer of Thy every nail.

Envoi-

Peace's Prince! Eve's umbilical so tolerates torsion
Thy Iyer's birth is my Messiah's abortion.
