SANCTUS
the nightlight angelsthe Teasmade angels
the radiant angels bucking
then putting on again the habitual clothes
the High Street angels
the battledress angels
the angels crossing their wings of tin
taking grid-reference
from the angels with walkie-talkies
the interleaved angels
the angels in reins
the angels with webcam stigmata
the mighty cog angels of braid and feather
the pivot Jibreels
the treadmill seraphim
the swinging cross the swaying cross
the rising cross of beaten iron
the angels with reluctant winches
the angels lost in clocks and watches
daydreaming
the angels doubting angels
the angels spitting breath
the angels spitting vodka sorrow
the angels risking juice and water
the thinmilk Bodhisattvas
the hushed, dumpling Bodhissatvas
the angels spitting beak-fed manna
the insomniac angels redrawing lines
the angels carroting urban soil
the angels letting the sky lie fallow
the angels retreating from the woeful steel
the molten chorale
the angels in diaspora
