big man, small body
gilded cage of his arms, biceps like soft-boiled eggs
straining against a string of sinew
looks like it might snap
but no, he pauses, lax
the bulb of his ability undistorted
a wizard’s orb in flesh
twine around a victorian christmas present
fresh pheasant, tiny legs
skittering around, mouse-ish
until he reaches up, greedy
top of the tree, glittering star
jesus wept, pines like glass
an egg has burst
yolk in a puddle, spreading
baubles jostled
