[Don Schaeffer]

Hannah's First Solid Food

Until now, the angel nourished herself
purely on what she carried in the
insulated kit that bore her here,
only encased in sterile glass or
suckled directly from the source
like a celestial fountain.

But today,
one-hundred-and-eighty days
from her deliverence,
she suffered to taste
terrestrial fruit. The
aches of the world
entered her body over
her eager tongue.

Now she is
fully mortal.
