BROKEN

TAKE  THESE  BROKEN   WINGS

Blackbird   red wings   It was a sky-is-falling

kind of day    Bomb-dived my head    People

stopped and stared   I felt the brush of   bird?

Thought the Angels had come for me

 

shadow of wings   flapping  flapping  airswooosh  near an ear

 

In car on way home radio flipped ON:

Moncton in lockdown (Moncton!)   24 yr.old

gunman on a 30 hr. rampage    3 RCMP slain

 

Later at home tv flipped ON:

Gunman in Seattle siege in progress   live!

student-bodies    everywhere

 

Summertime in the Americas  gentle breezes

The living is easy    Sounds of guns ricochet

Angels dropping like flies

SLENDERMAN

GIRLS   APPEASE   INTERNET     MEME

You arrive inside your mother   & leave inside

your box   Spend eternity inside that other womb   tomb

 

the body must never be alone   never so vulnerable

the soul as when first separate *

 

This is true for the beginning & for the end   though

most don’t know  these arcane details

 

Some souls in splints   vulnerable to all manner of dybuuk

Take Slenderman creepypasta.wikia.com   for example

 

Seduced two 12 yr. olds who stabbed their friend in throat

and heart 19x   after which he promised shelter in his mansion

 

The judge has rejected a request to have the girls transferred

to a mental health facility   They will be tried as adults

 

Can someone out there: discover hope   changetheworld

bring back the nuclear family?

 

And may we live into a time when: No girl will have her face

shot off   for simply attending school

*The girls traded the knife back & forth between them  then

left their friend lying in the woods    She died by a roadside

where she had crawled   They each face up to 65 yrs. in prison

 

Attorney Anthony Cotton said: Somethings such as make-believe

would not be alarming in a child
