Caged Angels

I don't have a date on this one. The title was inspired by a painting of Peter in jail and angels outside the bars to rescue him. The perspective is from inside the cell, so the angels appear to be inprisoned. The poem itself is about writing poetry.


A glimpse,
A glimmer
Out of the corner of my eye.

A word.
A whisper.
Cherubim flicking the back of my mind.

Floating.
Flirting.
Get the net and catch ‘em,
                    Paste ‘em on a page.
