Watching Angels
An angel with a halo
and large white wings
opens her black-lined lips
as she sings
The bass pounds in my ear
as I see little green
"monsters";
cheerful demons of despair
dancing with werewolves
without a care
Spirits and nymphs;
their laughter blends
with that of the
Crow Girls
as the streets come to life;
ghosts and animals speak of
human strife
They see us as silly, frivolous things,
gaping at the angel as she sings
while we kill our brothers,
fathers, and mothers--
too busy to care;
too much in our own despair
and large white wings
opens her black-lined lips
as she sings
The bass pounds in my ear
as I see little green
"monsters";
cheerful demons of despair
dancing with werewolves
without a care
Spirits and nymphs;
their laughter blends
with that of the
Crow Girls
as the streets come to life;
ghosts and animals speak of
human strife
They see us as silly, frivolous things,
gaping at the angel as she sings
while we kill our brothers,
fathers, and mothers--
too busy to care;
too much in our own despair
