On the twelfth night
We knelt before the light
Dressed as shepherds and kings
Angels and animals
All played by us adults
While the children watched
Applauding when the donkey entered
Recognizably their teacher
Who held a hoof to her lips
To quiet them
Gesturing toward the infant
Whose cries were just
Waking his mother
Our new baby brother
