Angels visit this place sometimes,
when occasional fog comes down
& cloaks them in their flight
there are gelaterias
& burger restaurants in town now
& the buses still run at midnight
but when all are gone, the angels gather
at the sleeping harbor
& gaze at the Clifton lights
watching over this pirate town
guarding somebody's broken heart
perhaps now, mine
re-reading rejected love letters
shaking their sublime wings
