1972 Poetry by Michael F. Nyiri

Helping the Fallen Angel

I don't know
Where the angel is
Where the angel has gone
You and I both
Running through the world
Lifting a piece of cardboard

Angel?

Are you the fallen angel
Climbing toward the ladder
Huh?

Who gave you to me
I wonder was it God
...and can I help you

Back you go
...never more a fallen angel
And through it now I know
Who I am and where the angel is
