Angels Hurled Down

An Easter parade. First you hear it –

woodwind from lisping speakers –

then you glimpse it along a side street

and you long to feel that rapture

yet instead fists tighten as you stop

on Union Square; a bitter wind whips

your thinning hair, you watch the majorettes

glad-hand the day in yellow suits

and weather too unwholesomely crisp

for pompoms and thighs; most

daydream of chocolate eggs or blister pads

and boy bands, though one perhaps

shares your desire for a wrinkled, risen Christ

swimming into the harbour.
