Scream Angel, Scream

Poem 05
Scream Angel Scream
Sitting there in chains
Bound by imposed limitations
Wild eyed and frantic
Gnashing at metallic steel
Spitting at impending confrontation
Withered are your wings
Spattered with sweet blood
Splintered bone strewn in bits and pieces
Jigsaw patterned flesh
Nails digging at the floor
A bitten lip leaves a lonely trail
Faint echo of a heart
Diamond glint of tear
Take a breath and
Scream Angel Scream

    Vivid, emotive and at times distressing imagery. Such a great partnership between image and text.
