lyrics

Fourteen angels
once had heartbeats,
birthdays and favorite shoes.
The daily news just told me.

This was gunfire.
Not a knife, not a baseball bat—
bullets are less intimate than that,
that’s why we choose them.

Count breaths.
Count out steps.
Try to get through the day
as the churchbells keep on
chiming and choirs sing.
Timing is everything.
If she had just called in sick—
No, don’t go there…just let go.

Counting the dead
as the politicians
chime in once again,
risking nothing.
If fourteen angels could shout
we would drown them out
with opinion.

Fourteen angels—
are they watching?
Do they pray for our souls?
Some things we can’t let go.
Some things we can’t just let go.
How do we dare to let go?
