What Was Said By Angels



how long ago the Star rose over my heart
on the long plains of God
in a cold that could not be reckoned

by the best astronomers.
it's best to avoid detection
traveling here

where rival kings have
something else in mind.
we are still fugitive

under starlight.
the sheep around us,
uncomprehending;

the blaze of the heart at lowest ebb
trembling once more for
what was said by angels

on a bus stop kind of night
on an indifferent street
in an unremarkable year

in the sleet, perhaps,
that suddenly cleared
