This Long Week
by

Christmas bells still ring
with the angels’ carol                                           

but each day is tied
with ribbons   streamers

each minute wears a hat
blows a noise-maker

hours prance and dance
through light and dark

as people join hands
around the world

in the midnight song
‘Auld Lang Syne’
