"Angel"
Poem derived from my first completed journal, Black and Blue (2018-2019). Written May 28th 2018. Dedicated to the late Matthew McCree. Rest in Power. We love you.
~~~~~~~
I never spoke to an angel
directly before.
Only mama tells me when the original Rosa smiles and
laughs with her -
or when my soulmate's soulmate
Jose Antonio visits him and assures me
"Todo va a ser bien,"
But my conversation with you
was almost haunting.
I still can't understand why
you visited me
of all people and why
I told you to be with me tonight.
Maybe it was a "thank you"
To which I never needed from Louna,
for loving her, you and your family
as if they were my own.
But I'm blessed
that you, angel, came to visit my spirit.
I thank YOU
for watching over me tonight,
the way I watched over you
when I walked you home
from the baseball field that one sunny Spring day.
