Of Souls And Angels Poem by RIC BASTASA

she says in all honesty
that she has not seen
a single soul
or felt its coldest touch
in her skin as others
seem to imply from
their hair raising experiences
first hand direct
from the horse's mouth

and it is the same with
angels

how could she not have
seen one with
white wings
and angelic faces?

how could she ever
relate to all these
tales and myths
and legends and
storied told by
fools, she says

i know. She has no soul
and She was never once an
angel in those heavenly skies.

So they all condemn
an honest woman like those
witches burned at those stakes.
