Throwback Thursday Poem

 "Field of Death"

by Stephanie Smith


this place is a wasteland

for angels with glass wings

decrepit and shattered--demon angels

that fly through fields of death


this place is a haven of horrors

a grave of tired souls

where skin is a sacred illusion

and the life inside is left unknown


this place is a junkyard for dead minds

that crush their angel babies with their fists

it's just a craving they have

they've no tears of their own to shed


(published in Outer Darkness, Issue 13, 1997...Looking back I feel honored to have been published in such great small press 'zines as this alongside writers like the late Charlee Jacob. I miss her.)
