Angel gazes
heavenward
unable
to ascend.
Its marble wings
shattered at its feet
a carved tear
unable to fall further.
Lichen eating
into the name
cut in stone
translating it
into hieroglyph
that beggars being
deciphered.
God walks past
in thunder & lightning
using the storm
as a disguise.
Now only
a celebrity
uneager
to be
recognised.
The dead
(dead as Queen Victoria)
are not
amused
turn
in their graves.
They’ve seen it all before
unimpressed with
Heaven’s Theatrics.

Dónall... We were always told that thunder was angels rolling Gods barrells around. That's what happens when there's a cooper in the family! Slán
