pictures of living
Angels of stone
Cut from
The rock
Of humanity
Shaped in the
Form
Of the thing
We think
We should
Be
We carve
Wings
On statues
Because
We are safe
In the knowledge
That stone
Is solid
Reinforcing the fear
That
We can't fly
We hide
In our dreams
To escape
From the shadows
Shut our eyes
Tight
Because we
Don't believe
What we see
We celebrate
Sacrifice
In the heart
Of our
Own
Undoing
These are our
Legs
Trust them
To walk
Crawl
If you have to
And
Whatever
It is
You do
Don't be afraid
Of
The dark
For
The angel
In your memory
Never existed
Anyway
