From the Tower, by Melissa Cannon
FROM THE TOWER
by Melissa Cannon
And again I feel
her black wings opening:
do not tame my angel
she would fly through darkness
do not tame my angel
who hates houses of sleepers.
she, so restless at midnight
daring bats and stars
she twists around my bed
she turns me from my marriage
she makes images in shadows
she calls me, her dark hands
do not tame my angel
with your boxes and coffins
do not tame my angel
though I often fear to face her
though I have tried to kill her
tried to drug or rein her
o let her ride and take me
do not tame my angel
