Angel Doll


whispers through the wall,
medium between woman and girl;

in their breath, it twists like Winter,
ballerina frost out in open air

hauling wall; her back steadfast.
who can say why an angel falls?

now she welcomes Winter 
in feathered rags; a doll's shape,
 
X- X's for eyes that show the without-soul;
still cuddling lips;

inside's new skin's wrapped parts
out cold in your arms

The darkness of " the coming storm" that envelopes this piece is truly nerve-wrecking and sad at the same time. "X- X's for eyes that show the without-soul; still cuddling lips" That alone should make this poem of the day, that line took my breath away.😢

I have to tell you I don't know what I read but I sure loved the creative lines of imagery. I would think I knew then know I didn't, yet I didn't care much at all. You shake, rattle and roll me frequently in the best ways ... CayCay

I think I saw a doll or something with those x x eyes. A fascinating image, Paige.
