non-winged

angels pass through
the assembly line, winged
and non-winged
quality assurance does not take place
here (in heaven)
there is a separate place
for falling, for remapping those with soul

someone wrote (a legend)
of infinity, and infinity, an infinity- this legend
has a map said, a world
of grounded wing-less angels
of gods and gardens where love is
made and apples eaten
somewhere
between quality assurance and
purification

  8. Ever since reading anne tuxedo angels and devils, I imagine a new existence for angels other than what my old preacher said many years ago. Your piece reminded me if those ponderings regarding jealous angels. Fallen angels, I imagine are common. Thanks, I enjoyed it very much.

  9. I struggle with perfectionism and somehow that line about no quality assurance in heaven felt very freeing to me. This is just wonderful, Barbara.
