every time a child is derided in this town
I dream that the crimson angels from the topmost clouds
cast themselves down
every time.
every time a question finds no door
I dream the cherubim leave Him whom they adore
for just that space:
to bring a chiming grace
to you soaked through to the skin
without a home or a starlit inn.
