I had a friend named Big Dog
Who killed himself in the home goods department
With a blender.

And in truth, he was dead before the twirling blades reached his elbow
I was there and saw the spirit leave his eyes as his body kept screaming
And he smiled the whole time.

I saw the forces of Heaven complete Big Dog’s work where he could not.

Later,
A cashier found his wedding ring in a pile of meat
And sold it online for a sliver of bitcoin.

I waited by the towels for him to find it,
And it took some time
Police tape and the vomit of a dozen adults unable to bear
The sight of an angel born into this world the moment it died.

The cashier is still out there,
Squatting in an abandoned building across town,
Needle hanging from his arm
Eyes rolling in his head.

The world did keep turning after that day. And it turns and it turns and it turns.

We are the agents of heaven made to witness our own actions 
For eons untold.
