Angel.

I dreamt I fell asleep
With the window open
A breeze chaotically came through
Sending my papers & works into a twister
It awoke me and as I attempted to gather my thoughts
I saw the angel standing in the lawn
Her image glowing with purpose
As the moon lit her like a candle
She came in as a shadow
Shifted to an arrow
And aimed at the apple
I stood up and looked at her with worry
As her feathers fell
She was molting
I peered into the hall
Making sure none one was about
Then made my way to cabinet
Grabbed a bottle of whiskey
Drank it down without much trouble
Walked back to my room
Saw her kneeling at my bed
Asked her to stand
As she did; she fell backward
Hitting the wall
With a terrible racket
Blood on the nightstand
She looked at me
With a waning glimmer of hope
Then to a vanity mirror
As it exploded
It was like crystal exposed to light
Shimmering waters when the moon was full
Her feathers ascending and descending
In a blinding burst
I fell to my knees
Watching the heavens collapse
As my heart stopped
My eyes sunk
And a last swallow
Felt my body in motion
As I fell deathly still
The feathers collecting
On my tears.
