I Shift


I light up    exhale
shift to the left
    the sun lights up the smoke
through two panes
    like the wing tip
           of Gabriel
             is that
where my soul resides
            in between two panes
getting into the  bath
my mind turns to God
    this is my church
        closest I get
           till more solid proof
             is offered
             in a postal flyer
which could well be recycled anyway
I think again how
Gabriels wingtips glisten like
sharpening        axes for that
last battle
against the horde
               Then I shift the vision
                     fading as the sun
hits the mirror behind
blinds me     with light
I turn to     bigger
questions     God do you
  bleed every 28 days
   or birth another      Angel

  1. Bruce, this is excellent. Wonderful tension and rhythm. And thought-provoking.
