Yellow Winged Angel
I.
He was patient very-very
with child's tenderness in eyes
yellow winged angel's unwary,
He was living quiet in skies.
Without disputes, without roughness,

so that all that remains is to
fall?

out onto a knoll
overlooking this burnished landscape.
Before me I see countless writhing rows
