02; LULLABIES A FALLEN ANGEL SINGS TO ME
in the hollow
of the darkness
a boy with
shoulder blade scars
sits with his head
against the fading walls
praying to a god
who doesn't listen.
the white static
washing over loud litanies
and drying up devotion.
counting phosphenes
against the cave
of his closed lids
wondering if he'll
ever be enough.
he misses his wings.
