The angel touched me
with her fingertips
as colld as ice
I felt numbness
creeping from the top of my head
down to my heels
sending a shock
on its way through my spine
like one thousand small feet
of half-inch soldiers
The angel touched me
with her fingertips
which were once
dipped in fire
I felt them
on my forehead
and I felt pain
as the song in my head
escapes note by note
and the words in my mouth
compose themselves
into a litany
of my palaverous oeuvre.
