Altogether the angels arrive for the chorus

in rapidly grabbed robes they snatch scores of hallelujahs

complicit with television cameras they bend down their eyes.

However they sing their voices will glisten

in the soundmix. All of it good enough for us.

Altogether children will wake before the end of night

(“not good dawn” my Jewish grandmother called it) will stand

as we did

handheld in cold dark before the parents’ door

singing for glimpsed gilt and green

packages, the drama, the power of the hour.
