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
