"It was the face of an angel in distress"
– Elie Wiesel, Night.

The face of an angel,

Industry, distress.

Effacing, wayward, returned.
Warned, rewound, graphic,
Worded, nouned,
Redundant, nude, dented,
Tender, reddened, renewed,
Wrenched, headed,
never-ending, verdant, reverent,
voracious, terrible, brittle,
roving, gaping sarcophagus,
scraped macrophages grappling
phantom motives, tombed,
bombed
new.
