illustration: STAIRWAY TO A FALLEN ANGEL |
PAINTED ANGELS
drip into the daylight like water from a leaky faucet Their rusted halos bang and clank like old radiator pipes as I watch them fall one by one by one dressed in soiled white robes and cotton T-shirts an umbrella for wings and no blessing for the journey On rainy days they march through the dirty streets of L.A. singing "Hell's a hell of a way to go" while a river of tears pour down the stairway of the silent faces who led them there. |
