I have in my possession
an angel’s wingbone:
valueless, I gather,
without the certificate
of authentication
which can only be signed by a bishop.
I treasure it, however,
and almost religiously love
the sweet feel of its curve
between thumb and forefinger
deep in my jacket pocket,
the way I’m fondling it now.
