America Windows (Angelology)

1 Minute Read Time

This photograph shows a window with rain drops on it, showing incoming bad weather. Presumably, a thunderstorm, or something worse.

I try not to think 
too much
of the thing 
that I am that is
dying—I’m not going to 
drive myself crazy
with this—I say 
one must be a seer 
make oneself
a seer—any day 
now I’ll remember
love compeers attention
and so, my heart, that it might be 
called one, at last must become 
the simple embrace
of angels. All of them
