After The Messengers Leave Poem by Mary Angela Douglas

After The Messengers Leave

after the messengers leave-
you sit in a room with
curtains of light

and no furnishings

wishing there was
another way out-

no more angels at the

doorway-
just an indrawn breath-

a disbelief in
celestial repetitions.
and blank directives from

a book of snow-
