Androgynous Angel- a Tribute

Androgynous Angel in white Wings of satin about to take flight like some Space Oddity searching for a bit of life. I gaze in fascination at this being which entered my house as a vinyl cover. You flirt around my consciousness morphing again and again; speaking to me from your place on the wall. Rebel Rebel is your rally call. Let's dance in red shoes and blue jeans until we’re dancing in the streets, unified by the music. But you didn't stop there. You surprised us with a kiss of modern love and absolute color blindness-- sloughing the image once again from rainbows to black suits and fashion models. You made non-conformity the norm And did it in style. If only you could have stayed a little while longer... You paved the way for new sounds; who will be a trailblazer now? As your flitting around in celestial skies an androgynous angel taking that heavenly chorus to new heights.
