Unveiling Midnight's Choir
Karyn Indursky
Violins and violas play
a swingy jazz song
mixed with a Billie Holiday
blues song tickling bare feet
and rhythmic hips to dance
upon a building's roof
in finger-snapping rain
while two singers combine
soprano with tenor vocal chords
before their three backup singers
join their African drummer's
beat preceding lightning bolts
cracking cymbal applause after
unveiling midnight's choir.
