angels dancing on the head
concerns the philosophers
and the mathematicians, I suppose
theologians
census takers
I wonder about those at the point
skewered to some lapel
like a living corsage
or mounted on a display board
with a little label, curator angelus
how many have stopped dancing?
still alive like immortals must be
never to tango or twist or tarantella
I wonder that they were caught,
perhaps with eyes closed in ecstasy
trapped by demons who never dance
colateral damage in the wars for souls
