Angel Crossing

There was a curve in space to mark the passage of fire Angels as they fled from dawn to dusk.
Tarrying not lest shadows of things unmade or badly made take them unawares.
Riding plumed serpents across the western sky and down to the edge of night.

Waking the Mirror

The mirror sleeps the long night.

When it is dawn and the ritual begins

Waking the mirror

At first small bright flying things

Each shinning with its own light

Each admires its reflection as they fly westward

Then day glow white herons or egrets

spread their massive wings so that the sleepy mirror gets an eye full

and at last, the sun, burning with the white hot fires of a new day

marshals all the hues of the rainbow

calls them by name

and demands they speak their colors into the liquid mirror

The glass is full of light.
