Virga (Boketto)

Virga

Silver streaking solemnly.
Swords silently slicing.

God sends the angels advantage
but never piercing the gates of hell,
only mocking,
only prodding.

For what?
To threaten only.
to show power through the heavens,
to dismantle heretics and heathens.

Strength sleeping softly.
Striking seldom, seething.
