a Victorian angel – v3

Her form new-spun gossamer
a fabric of aerosol molecules
her image so clear
looking down upon the earth
a flowing, living robe, flowing,
shifting so quickly
a regal Victorian angel
hovering over Your mountain

So quickly she came
so soon she departed
evaporating into swirls;
but we saw her with us
her body, a halo, the lines of her robe
wings arched behind her
hovering across the sunset

Her body, her gown, shades of pastel slates
painted over the deepening blue
wings of luminous fire, melting,
in dusty roses and pinks
the feathers lit from below
alive in their beating
across the September sunset

the fields were alive with frost this morning
on NH Route 107 in Epsom, NH, Southbound,
with many vistas of white over the reeds and grain stalks, as
at 43.213132,-71.285279
going to the Deerfield Community School
