angels pulling strings do not pull rank
they make sweet marionettes dance and sing
they fix the string on the English cracker so that
it explodes mildly in sweet candies fountaining
or unexpected charms oh thank you angel breathed
the child who couldn't get it to work
and was about to cry.
angels do not pull rank.
let me repeat
they'd rather die though dying for them
is a little problematical don't you think.
angels glide
into a room thst some see
as a golden flash in the corner that should be cornered
especially the dog who barks rapturously
in several languages perhaps, who knows
we haven't got the code;he's
waiting for the spectral show to show
by the picture window and the vintage lamp
even if it's only, for him at least, the curly headed
and the circumspect pet, (can you tell
I just wanted to use the word circumspect)
projected in black and white
faint shades of grey shimmering
it's kindness, anyway.
and it is lovely.
