Angels

They find me here, 
a flickering vestige,
under incandescent 
pendulum lighting 
that was not long ago 
strung up and tied 
to the center beam
 
of an old moribund 
shoestring warehouse 
with the guilty look 
of an antiquated aircraft 
hangar

where my voice trails 
off after my duplicate
self-echo
pacing a smallish splatch 
of spotless linoleum 
surrounded like an 
occupied island by grey
waves of desolate flooring,

all out of breath and mired
in my brood, my legs
dangling over an over
-turned aluminum chair,
waiting to board their
intergalactic alien spacecraft.
