feathers fall

feathers fall to the ground like tears

angels shed

like snakeskin

in a perscription bottle halo words crumble

like a sandcastle hotfudge sunday

feathers fall to the ground like tears

melting like moments waiting

as a hurricane wipes out florida

as a train wrecks in california

as a world war II veteran shits his pants in a va hospital

i turn off the correct speller to the lap top and wait for grace

as feathers fall like tears

from shedding angels

a pool of light

around a halo

of

eyes
