Angels, Maybe
Forgive me, asking for a miracle
when this very morning I held
a ripe tomato in my hand, still warm,
as if the sun had followed me in
from the garden.
All spring I watched bees
visit the vine, singing at the alter
of every flower, a golden incense
of pollen rising
from their shimmering wings.
I was in the company of angels, maybe
their celestial bodies
bumping against mine, bearing witness.
I should have known
it would be a summer of abundance,
miracles harvested by the bushel.
