First Light

black and white picture of an austrian girl with a torn coat watching angels drown sinners to see if they float. arms of clouds folded in a white alabaster. blackened charcoal burns into the sky faster and faster. yet still the museum curator seekes to find. recessed lighting on the wall behind. but all he found was white and black. to hang a picture of a girl on a tack. while outside lamps look down with dizzy heads. words over cobble stones that have been said. contrasted by copper wheels that charge at night. nocturnal powerlines reserve the light.
