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
