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.
