HEAVEN AND EARTH
cherubim cheering, chestnuts o’er fire,
plumes of heat in kin’s nighttime sleep,
preparing the gift of peace —
turtle doves for release.
commanded, angels
keep watch by moon,
stirring breaths
of child
and
their
grownups.
children smile,
their parents groan,
at waking up soon
to piles of presents at
bottom edge of blinking tree.
cocoa and coffee speed process
of ribbons and paper; joy reacts.
