I Can Be Reached

by Judy Katz-Levine

Branches of trees limned branches

Against zenith of mauve the Catskill mountains

The angel who kisses me bows and prostrates

Herself before the exquisite branches

Caught light that expands into a nurse who

Finally gave me the right medications

I can be reached in an ultimate chariot of

Bliss and holding hands up unto the morning’s

Luminous lips

So that you know, remain concealed and

The angel who bows before you will sing, awesome

As the day is long
