alleymon An Angel’s Kiss
By Howard Allen
She lies stretched
beside me
on the warm sand
with the ocean
foamy and green
a scant few yards away,
when I notice a bit
of white fluff,
part of a feather,
held by the wind;
laughingly I pluck it
from the
tanned softness
where it lay
and toss it lightly away,
the breeze carrying
it heavenward–
obviously
an angel’s kiss!
