What better way
(Hebrews; 13.2: “Be not forgetful to entertain strangers. For thereby some have entertained angels unawares.”)
My stubborn coat
and almost rainproof
shoes and hair
have always made a welcome mat
for miracles and strangers,
Gods and drunkenness,
the dying screams of buttercups,
the slow and sensual moving
in and out of kittens’ claws -
and yes, indeed,
yes some of us
have entertained
angels unawares -
what better way to welcome love.
