So this angel
lifting two boys
above
the landscape.
So
the strip of gown,
flown to the ground
kisses earth, almost
under one boy’s mudded
boot.
It’s a
Manichean
mystery of a kind. The
boy in black, with the
fitted hat is thinking:
In
that water
beyond
the bare bush the
Hesperus
lies empty.
So this angel, tipped
forward, doesn’t
see either of the boys
she or he is
lifting.
And they are trying to
push him
or her
into the earth.
