    THOSE DARK ANGELS...

     
    Those dark angels with blue glames
    like flowers of fire in their black hair
    know answers to strange blasphemous questions -
    and perhaps they know where the bridge goes
    from night's depths to daylight -
    and perhaps they know the haven of all unity -
    and perhaps in the father's house there is
    a bright dwelling that has their name.
