angels on high

if
an angel exists
even one angel

let me be
a failure
in his sight

prostrate
upon the dirty floor
of my room

trapped in
the great song
of his wings

let him
lift me
upon exalted arms

lift me shamed
into a new life
beyond

the grey streets
the holes in my nights
the things i see

when i close my eyes
to sleep
and do not sleep
