Angel
Your soft, quivering voice numbed my mind
And I felt a chill surge under the skin,
A paralysis of muscles, a rigid bliss;
The smallness of you, the soft white presence
Whispering in acknowledgment to words,
My words, meaningless words, unworthy.
And I've known you but briefly but am
Consumed by a burning tenderness, shaken by a
Violence of feeling, longing to protect you,
To pull you close to my heart, to feel your
Soft, smooth breath glide over the tiny hairs
Of my neck, taut-muscled for fear of losing you,
Frightening you away, gentle sprite, nervous angel,
Fallen from the sky and into my decaying world,
A honey drop from heaven, God's mercy made flesh.
