Angel Passing By

a tribute to my daughter

rule out the rules
my daughter is in the house
the unavailable answer to
every multiple guess test

not any possible combination
of answers, but of all them
spread with the energy of
unasked questions

she doesn’t belong here
is wise beyond her years
sees with mystic vision
an old angelic paying last respects

rule out the rules
love has walked with us
in times waters bathed us
and in acceptance, made us
