Men in white

After Luke 24:50-53 and Acts 1:1-11

They’re looking up,

expecting to see

something other

than disappearing 

cloud, something,

or someone, coming

back, and instead

they hear two men

in white, and see

two men in white,

asking why look

up, he will come

back the same way,

enveloped in cloud.

They listen, they heed,

and they almost

miss what the two

in white call them:

Men of Galilee,

men who cast nets,

men who fish.
