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.
