NOCTAMBULANTS

Having no where to sleep two men

Spend the night walking the streets

Furiously discussing politics 

And literature and unnatural parents

They don't notice crossing into

What used to be Heaven. Angels 

With heavy lanterns follow them;

(It's a rough neighborhood these days.)

God, unable to remember when last He slept,

Drifts in their wake, nodding occasionally,

Longing to join the conversation.
