Kingdom of Stone:Angels




Stonily erect at a 90% of unreachable solitude
The stone angels know it
They are just decorations of the wind
Showing directions to the sky

The stone angels drape the sky
With a stony eye

The stone angels
Cannot cry

They cannot cry
I don’t know why
They don’t cry

For those who die
At their pardoned footsteps!

I don’t like the way
They turn their gaze away
To court the sky

Their stony eye
Which does not cry
For those
Who lie

Stone angels
They have wings

But they do not fly

To those who cry
To those who die

To those who cannot fly!

They conspire in stony whispers
That the ones who cry
Cannot fly
To them, at stony altar

So, will they let them lie
They,who cannot fly
Can’t they just
Go to them
Who cannot come

Up So high???

Can they descend from stone
From the sky
Can they once
For once leave their stony altar in the sky!

Or just tell us
How to carve an angel
From their stone!

Mercy!!!
