dark of eyes
an’ dark of face
six angels smile
from dey customary place
dearly do ah love
this long ago Christmas gift
six tiny angels
dey always give mah soul a lift
asexual dey are
neither girl nor boy
but dey gender matters not
for dey presence brings me joy
two angels clutch dey hymnals
eyes raised toward da sky
obedient little tots
wit God’s will dey do comply
da other angels make heavenly music:
wit cello, accordion, trumpet & flute
such sounds ah’ve never heard
so lovely ah’m rendered mute
but da angel ah love da most
is da cellist, who also sings
fo’ dis is a fallen angel
you can tell by da broken wings
