"Your Angelicy"

by Jeph Johnson

 

emitting
such grace
unshaken and true
but extending a
colder hand
to caress
a face
I'd mistaken for human
your angelicy
began...

 

touching
the places
that make you a woman
makes more of me
a man

This poem just left me stunned. I have been reading poetry for over 33 years, and I have rarely found a poem so intensely beautiful, and with such a magnificent conclusion!
