An Angel of Fierce Countenance

An Angel of fierce countenance guards the Western gate

wings aflame in the dying sun

Eyes like the end of time.

Raiment the color of a thousand sunsets.

Waiting On the New Moon

Morning purple as a crushed rose.  
The river as calm as glass.  
Quiet as sleep.  
The sky and her twin, the river, run toward the horizon.
Where the river touches the sky, she blushes and the dawn comes.

The Last of the Angels: Angel Undone

In the end the Angel folded her wings

and let her body fall through the cold air toward cruel stone

till at last she sparks and catches flame and crashes down into a turbulent sea

hair ablaze shedding burning feathers the color of a thousand sunsets
