An Angel Bathes In Tears

Diniel rested for a second
and turned his eyes away
from those that he was caring for
and in that moment all was lost.
Now he bathes in the cascades
of acidic human tears
that flood the world with grief.
Erosive and corrosive
at the passing of infant souls
in a war that has no meaning
in a world that has no morals.
Now his dainty angel features
disappear until they’re left
as bereft as his duty
and he slumps against the wall,
his face loses expression,
feature and definition
and he stays there for eternity
until he wears away
and the torrents fall forever
and he sinks beneath the waves.
