her tear anoints the angel
and makes a boy of me
I like it as is. Whether or not the N is the angel's father, grandfather or a casual observer touched by the scene is up to the reader, sometimes it's nice to be a little open-ended and let the reader jump in.

I have more than once found myself surprised by who readers think my N is and sometimes the poem is stronger by letting them have their way with it. Big Grin
