angel

angel

just east of whenever
next to a streaming line
of headstones -- from
sixty-miles-an-hour

an hour ain't that long
in long run
headstones are
-- forever

low watt emissions
cast soft shadows
covered lamp
with asian-crafted scarf

once wrapped nefertiti's
long neck
while camel trains
hoofed desert still

angel on my shoulder
hasn't said a word in
twenty years
-- or more

I know she's there
she knows it
-- too.
