mass murder by the boathouse
angels behind the boathouse
trade dark secrets in the
middle of the day
they’ve dark hair & skin
auburn wings tucked in
called to this particular place
for reasons yet to be known
they wonder who is
calling the shots anymore
softly debating
how bad things need to get
before the apocalypse
waiting behind the boathouse
one question leads
to another
until there is nothing left
no lies or deceit or promises
just the beautiful truth
that they are here for a reason
april two thousand twenty-one
