ANGEL IN THE RABBIT HOLE by Peno Hardesty

i don't believe in angels or heaven or hell---i was getting something out of the car---
excuse me--do you have water?
yes---i can give you a gallon
he was older---riding a bicycle---pulling a homemade trailer
oh no no---do you need water? someone brought me six gallons i only need two so i thought i would see
if anyone needed some
after days of watching folk hoard water and batteries i started to cry--then i found myself sobbing
he pushed his to the gate
are you ok? are you scared?
no sir-----gracias kind sir
we hugged
he would not take a gallon of water from me but he left me these words that i share

THERE IS SOMETHING ABOUT THE PURE LOVE OF THE LONELY
THERE IS SOMETHING ABOUT THE PURE LOVE OF THE UNWANTED
THERE IS SOMETHING ABOUT THE PURE LOVE OF THE LOST
THERE IS SOMETHING ABOUT HUMANITY THAT IS BEAUTIFUL

he said he lived up the road although i have never seen him before--
there is something about........
