The Sky Is Falling! The Sky Is Falling!

I remember it as the night
the sky ripped open
and rained down
the blood and entrails
of a slaughtered cherub.
His stained feathers
lingered thick in the air for hours;
clouding my vision,
while I attempted to bury
the severed, rotting wings
that barely missed me,
as they crash landed
into the pile of shit
I was standing in
only moments before.
