"Althought, I admit, I desire,
Occasionally, some backtalk
From the mute sky, I can't honestly complain:
A certain minor light may still
Lean incandescent
Out of kitchen table or chair
As if a celestial burning took
Possession of the most obtuse objects now and then-
Thus hallowing an interval
Otherwise inconsequent


By bestowing largesse, honor
One might say love. At any rate I now walk
Wary (for it could happen
Even in this dull, ruinous landscape); sceptical
Yet politic, ignorant


Of whatever angel any choose to flare
Suddenly at my elbow. I onlyknow that a rook
Ordering it's black feathers can so shine
As to seize my senses, haul
My eyelids up, and grant
A brief respite from fear
Of ttal neutrality. With uck,
Treking stubborn through this season
Of fatigue, I shall
Patch together a content
Of sorts. Miracles occur.
If you care to call those spasmodic
Tricks of radiance
Miracles. The wait's begun again,
The long wait for the angel,

For that rare, random descent."
