Angel

Angel carry your heavy payload
until god asks for it one day
Angel bitter, discard your halo
throw it worlds away

Angel fly to heaven above
dive to hell below
Angel receive peace from a dove
or scavenge it from a crow

Angel weep soul deep
until your very last breath
Angel sleep the long sleep
pray yourself to death

Angel just Angel lust Angel thrust
Angel sing Angel cling Angel wring
Angel must Angel bust Angel dust
Angel wing left wing right wing broken wing

Angel nothing

The dVerse prompts from Melissa today were inspired by Kurt Cobain’s birthday. I chose to take one line from a Nirvana song and reflect on the feelings that might drive a suicide. It was a harrowing exercise and I am sorry if it causes hurt. https://dversepoets.com/2024/02/20/happy-birthday-kurt🎉/
