angel of rancor
a murder crawl
inching along the light festooned edifices
like tombstones wrapped in string lights
they say angels live here
but i'm not so sure they know what angels are
i could use a cigarette break
maybe the sweet release of death
either will do honestly
an inch of road per soul reduction
that's how this works
erosion at a glacial crawl
saties 'lent et douloureux' on a loop inside me
the angels must be rancorous things
