I sleep with the bones of angels.
Their eyes are stars within their skulls.
There is warmth within old marrow.
Their wings cast tree shapes on the walls.

They breathe heavy in the dust.
They leave hanging lights to sleep.
Simple flower petals fall
and collect at their thorned feet.

I sleep with the bones of angels.
Crafted faces hold me in.
Lost to dreams, I fall to pieces.
Alabaster, porcelain.

I know it's over.
The Smiths
