Angel in white, you are too luminous. I want to see something red, like period blood or secret flesh. Something to show me you’re human.

Angel in white, you are an apparition in the safe blue night light. You glide over the polished linoleum like a hawk on the vicious wind.

Angel in white, you have pierced my flesh, but not my heart. I am stable now, you say. I am stable now, it’s true: nothing can touch my pain.

Angel in white, you hold the keys. It’s checkmate in three simple moves.

Angel in white, I love you.
