Epiphany, Transferred

Epiphany, Transferred

How, then, does one transfer a holy day?
The Magi reschedule their appointments
The camels are re-booked with a penalty
King Herod’s social secretary sighs
And jots a note for the distribution list
(Holy Innocents will die some other time)
Per diem expenses and meal vouchers
“We have seen His star in the east,” yes, but
Gold, myrrh, and frankincense must clear customs,
And will your trip continue to Egypt,
Or is this your final destination?
