the
angels again 
or
if
I were mist 
Christmas tree tinsel 
good guys' trick or treat 
you want to rub up against them 
just an idea
they practise an antique erotics 
all folds and fold away
still the question of weight 
will be addressed 
is this substance in fact soul 
of which so long is spoken? 
they cannot be seen in the light, in the dark 
are they animal tidings attendant?
if one were made of mist 
or of some other song
you might think that the ages are in them 
you might say they are whispered this way 
hung in the upward corners of a dream 
but never upside down 
gossamer song 
and full of god's breath 
seek their nests in the tree of life 
spread feathers of theirs 
these messengers shot through 
 give spinelessness its wings 
where fallen
with the Cheshire grin 

 
lovely... so many beautiful associations
