just because the angel lands

does not mean this is paradise.Eden is a jail
with razor wire and watch towers.Nirvana is a drug
sold to the hungry to assuage.Pain is a doctor
who treats all wounds with contempt.Dark angels tempt
They bribe,cajole,urge.We succumb to comfortable temptations
pretending no one is psychic,and all is not visible to all
Waking from a dream takes desire.Sleep is easy to deny
Sweetness seduces with a promise of continuance
Sanctuary in her eyes.Siren,Harpie,Calypso,Maenad song.
Your path is dewdrops @dawn.Temporary as time
Forgetfulness Estuary (tidal,Tsunami)
Wake Quickly Now!Waters are rising around and within
Surf these moments while they sing.
Each angel lives on the head of a pin
Sharp as a needle's eye of a camel
The point is -every angel is different.Sleep through this
and pretend this was never said.When you wake,forget...
TEMPLE POETS MEET THURSDAY 30 @7pm at Temple CAC off IH35-come and see!
