The Things They Carried 

Posted on April 19, 2022 by whimsygizmo

The moonlight 
on their backs, the fading 
tracks of barefoot sand. 

Empty hands, 
and the barely 
there weight of silence.

In April, we poem.

    Read this as if it’s about Mary and Joseph during certain parts of their journey to Bethlehem for the census and to have that baby.
