“Broken Halo”

3.9.08

D3C4Y

Wrenched inside out

An intestinal weakness

Exposed and weathered

By harsh reality

And brutal rejection,

Wings removed.

Torn from the bone

Bloodied flesh hangs

Loosely over the

Unwanted frame

Of a fallen angel;

Naturally evil,

Good intentions

Fall short of

Human affection.

Cracked lips and

Starving lungs die

Just to inhale the

Air which passes

Over the lips

Of an angel

Equally tainted

And severely mechanized.
