from wings of fire!
to........hero worship
and fear.......
------
...............from the cold streets
with heart of steel
eyes blazing!......to
safety!.................
-----
.......crawling with hands opened wide
begging the worldly powers
for mercy
and forgiveness
for your youthful love of god
and his ways
------
with holy company ......wandering
unto each and every situation
fearless
drunken with compassion
knowing fully
ONE THING
----------
memories fade
but lo!...there you are!
immaculately pictured
amid plastic flowers!
plastic lovers!
able to say
shamelessly.......
...........anything!
-----------
how can i pity the dead?
vultures!
see!
circling!
-------------
wings of fire!
eyes blazing!......
........that you were
and really...
still are
---------
amid the vultures circling
