Evangelita, My Lovely

I know nothing
about cities guarded by angels.

I have One I call my own,
and she is strictly East Coast.

Like the weather,
she comes and goes,
but is always here and there.

Everwhere I imagine the colours
of her shadows: a silvered rosegold.

She graced my tongue
with luminous candy,
more precious than gemstones

to a child hitchhiking home.
