Fallen from grace with scorched wings; abandoned by the ocean breeze. Servants slaughter sheep to the howling of the moon strips of wool starlings moving as they fall. Beneath the iridescent river skies. The air is full and heavy. Icarus would be proud. A star lit sparkled sky outlined in feathers and wax; one for religion dies. Prayers of Agnostic combated Christian scrap yard metal wreckages; tapping on the window to the soul, the religious caucus pendulum swaying to and fro...
