Anna Cates

Angel

with the onyx eyes 
do you remember the dream 
flourishing like the soft glow 
melting snow into clear water 
refurbishing tributaries 
rushing into effulgence 
the chorus of voices 
we couldn’t understand… 

        a doe wandering
        the boreal realm
        labradorite moon
