you don't die at all
they say, we see them pass,
we see the smallest crevices of space
bathed end to end with an unflinching light,
gripped in their flaming gaze, we see them pass,
ringed vermillion, seething in the air, the angels
ring within ring upon ring careening
azure shards, the heart's high treason
as it bursts, as our blood breaks
and floods the universe
with flame, our fresh
fire falling
endlessly
