Dovetail

The angels are overloaded. And I'm crying aloud. In marketplaces. In new frontiers. Sobbing incongruously From station to station. Losing my past And letting the present Run off without me. I am draining my momentum. I am lock-jawed behind locked bars And still I sing like the only dove In town.

Thank-you, Hiba! I've been enjoying your poems as well! Love the brutal honesty in your "dear mother" piece. And the "empty room" was incredibly haunting.
