Christmas-lit ladies

I wonder if the trees feel dressed up,
wrapped in lights when no one is looking
by men hired to walk in circles around their narrow trunks
and then curl the lights around each branch.

They become queens, heads up and arms out
awaiting the ring on each finger.
Not looking left or right,
and certainly not seeing the other ladies in their matching finery.
