Vexillum

VEXILLUM

angel stood

disconnected

once-white spikes 
muddy scarlet

as if an escutcheon
drowned his form
disbanded
his blade
dumped
damaged
discarded 

discernments
cast downward
with
edges shifting,
doubted mercifulness 

oriflamme yearning

whilst
every ward
defied

NOTE:THIS IS AN OPEN(organic) FORM VERSE   using spaces&breaks without grammatical symbols ,the ' open' relies upon 'the one breath limitation' & so inherently requires the 'reader' (reciter) to input and responds thus making this enigmatic form a two way interplay & interpretatIon unique to the moment& changing according to mood is inherently variable.
