This robust angel is actually
A ceramic wood stove that was removed
In this past year’s construction project.
It was very heavy, so they only carried it
A few feet past the house,
Which has been bothering me
Because it blocks my view.
So I was amused to realize
The reflection of the lamp by which
I meditate each morning
Had turned her into an angel —
And isn’t that the way of things we resist?
How often the people and events
Which drive us crazy
Turn into blessings in disguise…
