An Angel’s first day on earth

You startle when my coffee maker switches on

It’s almost funny, the way your eyes go wide and search the room

I laugh and you frown

“It’s just coffee, I’ll give you some once it’s done.”

We sit side by side on the train

Your hands grab at mine, catching my cup and taking another greedy sip

“It’s good” you say, cradling the cup in your thin hands

“It is.” I agree, beginning to wonder if it’s the warmth or the taste you enjoy

You lean your cold body against mine

I decide it does not matter

I smile as you look over the horizon in awe

Your hand held tightly in mine, 

So you can step closer to the edge

See the world you so carefully helped to make

I continue to smile

At night, you curl up on the couch

Your long fingers curl around a mug

Where marshmallows float on top

I sit close

You are starting to grow warmer

For a first day on earth 

You seem to know a lot

I think I’ve missed something here

You are not an angel

Fallen from heaven

But a human far too closely resembling such a creature

And I am all the happier for it

Because I can not think of a world

Where you and I are apart.
