Patchwork Hearts

by Max Bouillet

I'm open to falling from grace.
--Sneaker Pimps

Here I am
spinning thread from
the souls of dead angels
to sew her heart together again.

Filaments of angel stuff
catch in the stitches
as the smile slowly returns
to her soul.

A kiss and hug
and I send her on her way
as I pack for my journey.

(Hunting angels takes time
and I don’t know
how quickly she’ll return.)

Author's Note: For a special friend that recently sent me an email to let me know I was missed.

No doubt she will return though, even from 6 underground :> Dead angels - presumably have exorcised their rights to immortality (in favour of prolonging love in the living :) Hmm...I guess angels, like beauty, are in the mind of the beholder...a pleasure to read you anew Max.

A nice tribute, Br Max. It is good to see you back: with angels, gods, and fairies and tow...

You have angels on your mind, the human kind I am assuming. Poem reflects being sensitive to others hurts, desire to right wrongs. Packing for a journey suggests you want everything to be all right so you can be free to leave.
