Affected |
Luminous circle,
spot light,
stage black,
a cherub
drinks
the celestial cup
of ordinary
sadness.
Lament:
a wispy dream
falters, fails
to achieve
substance.
Dancing shapes
akin to hunger,
raven-black
in the night,
momentarily
cross the face
of the moon,
escape.
An angel's voice
fills the emptiness,
the void,
before it can
implode,
collapse upon
the body.
