- he believes there is an angel waiting for him in a motel room.
- the angel has good news.
- if only he had a car,
- or a key,
- he could hear it.
- he is content with this season— cold sharpens his senses—
- and his thoughts about the angel fuel his good will.
- he does not buy gifts. instead he fashions angels
- and sets them adrift off highway overpasses.
- countless millions of them scatter over helpless, trapped drivers.
- they catch the ambient light, these angels, and shudder,
- like snowflakes against the night.
