Angel gazes <br />heavenward <br /> <br />unable <br />to ascend. <br /> <br />Its marble wings <br />shattered at its feet <br /> <br />a carved tear <br />unable to fall further. <br /> <br />Lichen eating <br />into the name <br /> <br />cut in stone <br /> <br />translating it <br />into hieroglyph <br /> <br />that beggars being <br />deciphered. <br /> <br />God walks past <br />in thunder & lightning <br /> <br />using the storm <br />as a disguise. <br /> <br />Now only <br />a celebrity <br /> <br />uneager <br />to be <br /> <br />recognised. <br /> <br />The dead <br />(dead as Queen Victoria) <br /> <br />are not <br />amused <br /> <br />turn <br />in their graves. <br /> <br />They’ve seen it all before <br /> <br />unimpressed with <br />Heaven’s Theatrics.<br /><br />Dónall Dempsey<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/heaven-s-theatrics/
