Angel's Share

the sun drenches

my city

with light

and yet

there's no place as bright

as the space

in front of your face

when you smile. it is

ambrosia and amnesia

yet i remember

what i'm fighting for.

the joy that

escapes your lips

when i say, yes,

i'm coming to

snuggle with you

could put Pappy

out of business

intoxicating sweetness

I never want

to stop drinking.

and as the angel's share

rises to shamayim,

i hold the love

you've blessed me

with here,

and laugh

because the sun

doesn't know from warmth.
