Not to drag this on any further, but I think that, as a general rule, an image you've carried through a poem shouldn't suddenly become a metaphor at the end without you expecting people to carry the metaphor back through the poem.

And, for the last time saying this, I don't think it works suddenly having one angel/man be different from the others. Oh well, maybe sometime I'll get around to writing it the way I would write it instead of telling you how to do it.

I don't know why I brought the Bible in. I guess I thought that's where angels live.
