BRIEF ANGEL

You are one
To slip through the nights
Like a gauze.

You come to me
Thinly wrapping
Around my body.

You are here
Yet not here.

I rise
With every drawing of breath
Like beer froth

To your mouth.

Then passing through me
You leave
Shining.
Like rainfall
Against the lamplight.

(Written by Nerisa Del Carmen Guevara. January 22, 1996. Philippines Graphic.)
