Sing away
I will let you ride
The wings of an angel
High
Nearer clouds
And myself
But you fell
I fell
I lost you to your demon
To my evil
Lost everything
Singing no longer
It’s The Girl betray
I played stakes in life
Risked immortality
Heaven dogs me
Like poker
And the sun
Unfurled angel wings
Lengthening
This dimming day
Skipping the winter
For despite my old secret
I insist singing
Proclaim
Chant
Spell
Hear from whispered reaches
I cannot keep a secret
I insist a reply
A valley girl
Singing sky notes
To Babaylan boys
I watched
As only I can
And scoff of him
Unfurling
A play
Of disguises
Of ‘could have become’
I wish away the day
Fearful for gaze
I the worn man
Milking the virgin day
For the game
He can only make
Breath from
His hedged mind
Part has changed
Unlike my Girl
But I its shadow
Muster day
So glorious
Rise singing
