I Saw The Lyre Of Heaven Broken Poem by Mary Angela Douglas
I Saw The Lyre Of Heaven Broken
I saw the lyre of heaven broken-
and children's voices
afterschool
played only jewel-box music
in the afternoons
while angels sped on waves
that would not reach us
and backyard voices
could not
hold the sky
once so filled with light
