Analysis of Angel in the desert
Heather Lydia Thornhill 1981 (Manchester)
The angel with magnificently glowing glass wings.
Flew across a golden lit glitter desert.
Stars of sand filled the sky.
Their wings shimmered and plumped in the rising heat waves.
Glistening through the sandstorms like passage to another dimension.
An eastern sunset turned grey brown layers into black silhouettes.
