Angel Unorthodox

Late 2004

Like a sonnet on LSD.

I am the unorthodox angel
An angel of hope and redemption
Born on the wind on the edge of the sunrise
Born on the tip of the thunderbolt’s fire

I am the unfortunate angel
The angel regret and repentance
Slow-rising, far-seeing, born to the tempest
Under the weight of the hurricane’s ire.

I am the intemperate angel
The angel of desperate valor
Born in the flare of the sudden rebellion,
Quick-striking wrath in the thunderstorm dire.

I am the last of the grim, grey, storm-tossed angels
And the last of the bleak, blind, storm-tossed fools.
