In God's Driveway

my silver-haired God
encased in robes and

__striped pajama bottoms

__white shirt
__bedroom slippers
the Scottish burr, the twinkling eyes
__the smile for a grandson, his angel,
__at the far end of the driveway framed
____between concrete lions
____with carefully-set agate eyes
summer blaze

of suburban Montreal

__before the angel
__went to school
__and God
__went to Heaven
