Fallen angels
Our wings fall away like ages
and we are left human
with stone feet
and eyes no longer through skylights
but turned unto day
still greening across the sod.
January 16, 1996
From a one-bedroom apartment window
Flakes fly through a beam by the street corner.
A few naked crystals
caught in the act of falling,
pink beneath mercury vapour.
Their motion sudden, harried
lost from a world
of others drifting unseen in darkness.
Based on a poem written January 23, 1996.
I moved into my own apartment on January 20, 1996.
