embrace
god raked the clouds this morning // have you noticed
// everything molding // into pasteurized colors //
some angels have cannonballed // down to earth
through the folds // just for the hell of it //
and here we are // bowing before the appliances
// making a hot mess with our voices // born in tandem //
clothes transparent // to breed a thick militia
