A Sigh and a Feather

A Sigh and a Feather
A long time ago, in a faraway place
an angel fell to earth
                                   and
                                               as
                                                                   she
                                               fell
she learned
that there is only silence
when angels fall, there is no sound,
no
Explosion of Anger
no Shout
of Explanation
only falling
silence

she learned that disappointment
can be a Cruelly Mute
thing
and that sometimes,
stillness
carries disapproval
ln it's
Terrible Hush.

All she had
was the soft rush
of the wind that she took for a sigh
and one
single
sorry
                              feather
                                                                                     floating
                 to
            her

feet.
