The night St Michael lost his wings by

Indian ink watered black ink chalk on listing Paper

An illustration for a poem of Ricardo Blancas.

The Night St. Michael Lost His Wings

The night St. Michael lost his wings,
I stood in front of a broken mirror
with busted knuckles.

Overwhelmed with rage and indifferent to the pain,
I stood for hour’s bare foot over shattered glass,
desperately searching for self-reflection.
