date crasher

you know how angels in movies are always bus drivers and stuff?
tonight i got off at the back door
he honked, opened the front door, and pointing upward at the sky
shouted
"that's venus and the moon, check it out!"
i did
a sliver of light covered up in shadow
fog
a beacon revealed in its midst
no camera for that
or the fire extinguishers and roses scattered amidst the fake snow and vodka
images for an evening only meant to live on in my head
back away slowly
no one gets hurt
there is enough for all of us to find our way
it's about...
it's something
