Hey H, this piece is really moving. As I was reading it, I found my heart rate speeding up. I think it had something to do with the way you structured it, made me sit on the edge of my seat. Another thing it brought to mind is a piece I've been working on for a while. I've actually finished it more than once, but it's still not where it needs to be. I've been revising it for 2 years now. Anyhow, this was the stanza your poem brought to mind: ' they painted the angels black and it wasn't about being ethnically correct or making a movement, it's because they're all dead inside and all they know of divinity is how well dark paint can reflect light.' Thanks for sharing this poem with us, it's incredible. Always, Amberlee
