Analysis of An angels curiosity
Side of the children´s clinic.
Pavement in the shade.
A centimetre away from panic.
A crying baby boy an angry mother.
A car that wouldn´t start the woman had had enough.
Shade and temper disguising what was right.
Crying baby in the dappled light.
A curious angel bares witness.
Sending it´s calm dancing sweetness.
The dirty doves flew away, so did the curious angle.
The ignition turned over and into the sunlight they drove.
