tonight, darkness droops
in deference to the light
a stringed rainbow brigade
blocks the moon from setting
spirit shines from house to house
as bells attach themselves to doorknobs
and rogue reindeer leave The North Pole
in search of lawns to loiter
a gnome wearing nothing but green pants
drinks too much egg nog
the carolers find a place for him
on their doorstep
all rejoice
and say good night
under the calm
of the Christmas light
