FOR RAINBOW GIRLS
I saw Rainbow Girls
In all their magnificence
Mouths agape
Tear-Rivers overflowing
Soul-Dams breaching
For Child-Angels flying out windows
For Love-Treasures stolen
For Blood-Drained Trust
Rainbow mouths agape
To catch falling angels
To calm the rivers
To stop the blood
To face the darkness
To heal
To live again
