Angels

Please start. Please. Please.
Do you have it in gear?
Of course it’s in gear.
We’re in the middle of nowhere!
I know, I know.
Try again.

A heartbeat
against the skin -

a breath? The wind?

Silence.

And there it is, again –

a warmth in the quiet

a whisper against my neck

a beat
above my hand
along my fingers
a filling of space -

Click.

You got it, it’s running!
Yeah. Did…did you feel that?
Feel what?
I’m not sure.
Can we go now? You’re creeping me out.

Angels

You reached in,
smiled with blank
understanding and

plucked

my heartbeat from
the air.

said

if we are the
angels, where does
that lead us, who are
we, does the world change?

I said

we are not.

that is the end
of that
