53. would you ?

In this city of fallen angels
an angel of another kind is born
and it’s hard to take in
that like the snuff of a candle
you were here one moment,
and gone the next
and all I have are carefree happy words
that I cannot bear to read
– they are the words
of a ghost I love
saying
yes, yes, yes.
