Note: “Kringle’s cane” is an allusion to the delightful end of the classic Christmas movie Miracle on the 34th Street.
THIRTY-FOUR
try disproving the
idea of miracles
and you will keep
crashing headlong
into anomalies
you can’t explain
with your theories
and laws: an act
of forgiveness,
vanishing tumors,
the empty tomb,
the house for sale
with Kringle’s cane
in the corner of
the vacant room.
