The angels present themselves
Roaming throughout the earth
Shunning evil
Flocks and herds
Who escaped
To warn those they cannot save

Chandy Dec 2020

A picturesque visage
Defiantly cut off
From wilderness
In custody, to future generations

Chandy Dec 2020

Twisted, contorted, distorted
Familiar visages
Hidden in strange scenery
Always drawing clocks--
Using time to draw time

Chandy Dec 2020

Regulation prohibits fact
Precipitated by punishment
Concluding with tolerance

Chandy Dec 2020

The community leaders
Heads of the clans
Shine toward peace
Yet, they cast a shadow
Anointed with power

Chandy Dec 2020

fading
faster
happy memories
pushed out
in favor of lesser replacements
is this what it means to live?

Chandy Dec 2020

Sons of the priest
Wash water
To burn it all on the altar
Every offering, pleasing
Crumbled, into essence
