Els Moors

1976 / Poperinge

Angel laid out a new body for me

angel laid out a new body for me

fired by a bullet scorching through my temple

borne by snow

a hat of lead and sunlight braided into paper

a long skinny boy

and I take his hand

staggered I will burst forth

flap flap

as the sea takes to the sky

and transforms

to briny clouds

waves storming

tomorrow
