Dead Gabriels (Free verse) by MacFrantic
Our street is undisturbed; a portrait serene.
An arrow's shaft protrudes from the darkness
where death pangs inflate the gasping cries.
Some vagrants--
others celebrity,
and meanwhile, I can only hum that song.
I'll give them all a show.
Funny,
I've never seen the angels sobbing
like they gambled on sunrise
and cringed for an eclipse.
Cosmic responses come to obscure my sanity.
In a room of dead Gabriels I linger.
Some can still beckon me:
even now, as I sleep, they whisper.
