The Shapes of Angels


The shapes of angels may proceed
from any number of imponderable things
(there’s no requirement for wings).

There is one constant, though –
a transmutation every angel undergoes –
and that is to retain the plain reflection

of a human being’s eyes and cheeks
and lips and nose. We wouldn’t know
that they were angels without those.
