Midnight, Christmas Eve - A Poem by Marie MacSweeney - Dive into the Depths of Contemporary Voices

Midnight, Christmas Eve – A Poem by Marie MacSweeney

I step outside at midnight,
air drenched with woodsmoke,
dash of peat, a single cow
complaining, her troubled breath
weaving over the low hedges,
all birds tucked away
but there is movement still,
some shy creature wrapping itself
away in unassailable darkness,
and in the sky above
galaxies have gathered,
stars turns on star,
silver glitter and tinsel streamers
tumble down to the waiting earth,
the entire universe
assembles around my questions,
and I am drunk on raw ice.
