I Dream Angel

I dream angel and the eternal questions In dog years through owners and collars Cheap wine and loose women; figments of some idea's imagination from calumet puffs and war -- upon horses freed to run. I dream angel for the children of a lesser God Bigger for living without legs or beauty or love My faith sings through the night like a hunting - - owl; ancient, silent, wise on wing, talon, sight but blind I am to the pulse of my maker. I dream angel for he that eludes me with flash and tempest, tragedy. My brother fire will never not dance -- will never not eat at the chance to spread. My sister the foam and the wave, yes, the Sea, so big as to forget me, and her own creation. I dream angel for you that watches me fight chaos Marduk the Tiamet. You loved me as a boy and fed me at the lake my lady sweet lady with hands like a warm statue you gave me my sword You gave me my dream, said, "Angel... Awake." I dream angel, have purpose, teach the words in magic symbols crowned hyacinth I dream many things, then those dreams begin to dream. I dream angel, heart, blood, feather But will dreams really make this better.
