Love (&) Doubt My heart never knew such a sweet song making angels appear with such honey lacquer harmony as seeps out of the sunset’s splendor their brilliant music How could I know the heart leaps for beauty and happiness when they are already here
in its cloistered cage it would be playing the kind of song that sends the brass bending twisting in their golden beds from the heads of rotten fruits I saw them rising bright enough to blind. the fear of this music— a note beyond grasping and in function and form changing a bound helix wilting already slipping away.
