NEGLECTED ANGELS

buzzing punks fiends drag queens red leather girls pre-digital shellshockers

all hovering together

hypnotized as they carefully observe delicious jets of white-hot caramel

injected into their veins of granite

floating on the fumes of snow-blown white boy rasta-man dread

the unnoticed concrete bandages holding their souls together begin to unravel

the liquid ice deep inside their darkened souls forms smooth onyx images

of fallen angels strewn about the rippling hardwood floor

children of neglect huddling together

desperately conjuring up glowing blue/green garden of eden fictions

to sustain them until the weak and watery dawn

absolves them of all their sins
