Angel

With one single catastrophe.
A chain of events happens.
Which keeps piling wreckage and hurling it in front of Angel's feet.
Angel would like to stay, to awaken the dead!
Angel wants to make whole what has been smashed.
But a storm is blowing in from paradise;
It has got caught in his wings with such violence;
That Angel can no longer close them.
The storm irresistibly propels him into the future,
To which his back is turned,
While the pile of debris before him grows skyward.
Paradise is destroyed.

" Angel cries "
