This Pageant Procession Of Angels

this procession of angels
by candlelight flickering
and the tinseled, haloed;

the golden cardboardy wings

of little children
may seem simple;

and even countrified.


but angels depicted in the Florentine

manner perhaps look on,
a little wistful

at the scene so holly bright

and well meant,
all around

and they-

bow down.
