   We kiss an angel with each breath we exhale. It doesn't matter if you "believe" in angels (I don't).

     I kiss an angel with each breath I exhale,
     a different angel
     for each expelled breath.
      
     I don't believe in angels,
     but still
     we kiss.

     Some of their number
     I think long
     to catch my last breath

     the kiss of death
     a precious sip
     of Aqua Mortis,

     some content
     to live out of time
     in the eternal moment.

     But the queue stretches
     from aleph to omega--
     So many angels, an infinitude

     more than all the breath
     I have left.
     All that air kissed

     and only one angel
     receives the gift
     of finitude.

     Another angel poem to add to the series, @simsa03 @simsa02

     Fallen angels take root in Earth.

     A river comes
     to wash away, wash away
     the soil.

     The rooted wings slowly, slowly
     gnawed free
     flung to air

     to fall again.

     The flight is short
     the fall eternal.

     @tinydoctor @simsa03
     Which reminds me of this and makes me ponder how much Moebius' art has in fact been 20th century Angeology.
