Tonight, when the angels
come for me, I will fool them
into staying longer than expected.
I will give them wine
and tell them that it’s water
steal their wings when
their halos are misdirected.
It’s the only way
to get a good thing
from any angels sent to save you.
Because they know
nothing but the light
they think they live in,
angels don’t understand
what it means to
need forgiveness.

.
I realized after reading your poem
how small my fish tank is
and how I forget to care for it
on account of having to deal
with bankers who are real sharks.
.
I wish I had rabbits right now.
And knew enough to care for them.
And knew how to sell them
like your poetry book
that I have in my hands.
.
I know of your urges
and I have broken in tonight
to share with you
a memory of summer asphalt
cooled by a fire hydrant
spitting through a tin cylinder
knocking over laughing
children who never saw
a lighthouse or dewy grass.
.
I stole that from no one.
.
But I know what you mean
about secretly wanting an end.
