Angelic legacy

To shepherd’s delight, sky fluster’s pie

Meanwhile, angels in tatty dusters shuffle house to house

Muttering under blessed breaths the breadthless names

Infinity gave itself with a quill of flames.

On the bottom shelf, frayed and yellowing,

Its binding frail, a mislabelled book of names;

Those who will enter paradise through its famous gates.

Thumbed daily in ancient day

This singular codex so strangely made

Forgotten now, as all are made.
