    The Dark Angels

    The dark angels with blue flames
    like fire-flowers in their black hair
    know the answers to wonderful blasphemer's
      questions -
    and perhaps they  know where the foot-bridge
      goes
    from the deep of night to the light of day -
    and perhaps they know the harbour of unity -
    and perhaps in their Father's house there is
    a clear abode, which has their name.
