angels never cry

staying dumb within their wings

vacant in the light

hollow melting wax



devils shit at my feet

in sweaters like toy dogs

they dodge all of my my kicks

and laughing they remain alive



thunder on the overpass

knowing these feelings will pass

i won't fall tonight



three girls follow me

holding a ball of twine

two want to string me up

one wants to cut me down



waste from above anoints me

caresses my smiling mouth and

flows into my wide eyes

reminding me that i'm still alive



freedom when the power fails

watching you all disappear

i won't fall tonight

i will fly tonight
