falling_angel
pushpins this delicate porcelein angel fell
from my clumsy hands
and tumbled down,
succumbing to gravity's appetite.
Her dainty wings did not flutter
because they are useless ornate things
meant to make her appear docile
and ethereal.
My angel crashed and lay battered
on the cool tile floor.
Her wings had snapped off
from her fall to my world,
and now she is an ordinary girl
like me.
her smile is still plastered on
But the truth of her feathered freedom
is buried in the trash
and I know she will never forget
the wings she never bothered to use.

ever dumbening trippy syncronicity:

i just got home to find that one of my refrigerator_magnet_poetry words had fallen--it was 'angel.' i turn on my computer and BAM! falling_angel greets me.

Syrope so of course i find her journal.

months and months and months of things you kept from me, again. how many times were you using my computer to be the sole commenter in her journal while i was sitting on the couch wondering why you chose to be so far from me? it's just a big pile of shit. you couldn't manage a complete update about anything we did. i guess you didn't have time, what with carefully supporting and responding to her.

mainly i feel guilt. guilt for not valuing myself enough to cut and run so many times before. i don't know how i'm supposed to make it up to me.

i took her to meet him last night, and the only comment she made about him, when i asked what she thought, was "he absolutely lit up when he saw you. he was so happy just to be in the same room as you. it's time you had that."

fuck. i'm sorry, amanda.

unhinged i feel like i've been waiting my whole life to get my wings back; there have been rare glimpses where i just know i used to have them.


the day i looked in my niece's newborn eyes
(that day has been a meditation for me lately)
the day he walked across towns
to hold my hand and tell me he loved me
the day my brother woke me up weeping
the day he watched from the stage
understood my devotion and whispered_in_the_ear
wordless_conversations


i just know i used to have them
