Sins of Commission

In the Blood Orange sky

I see the Purple Cow

The Angel Falls I don’t know why

I really don’t know how

Upon the sacred blue Starved Rock

Sits the angel now

At the edge of the dock

Hovers the Purple Cow

The Purple Cow has turned away

The the rock has turned to red

The angel knows not what to say

He knows the one who bled

The Blood Orange sky has changed to black

There is no Purple Cow

Kneeling at the edge of the dock

I see the angel weeps now
