soon enough
not really angels announcing
our
cells within rapidly
and other choruses
heralding implausible light
one soft word
spoken in darkness
as we turned
our backs to each other
and
you
grew
while
we occasionally
breathed
later we’d think your
arrival
was not guaranteed
except for the announcement
albeit over static in
a loud station
that this time
you
would rapidly escape us
it only took
two lives
to blink
simultaneous
signals
of flight
to make it
come
true
