on the wings of....

I could hear it
in the distance
the flapping,
heartbeat like - thump
thump, thump

of the devil's wings

or maybe angel's wings

It's so hard to tell
nowadays

I ran on dodging my poor decisions
and smart ones, alike

the sound, getting louder
closer, like the forbidden footsteps
of death at the door

but my fate would be worse than death
or life
or maybe not
can angels be evil?
can devils be kind?

I didn't want to find out
I rushed outside
only to find

the sound
of flapping
wings
