Raphael and Gabriel
Appeared and disappeared
In the tense time before mating
Following one another around
Watchful companions
They climb the naked tree and wait
To see if the ground is safe
For a visitation of the spirit
The gentleness they carry
In their pointed beaks
The plumpness of peace
Come down from the Godhead
As in the old paintings
To find some Mary or some seed
