Paper Angels

Written and Recorded by Anne tammel


Did you have wings?
Each limb reaching toward an open

sky, over New York. Spinning,
toppling. angelic, blackening

papers drift among you--
those snowflakes of September

scattered from open windows.
Could they have been the wings

of those who won’t emerge,
releasing them to an expanse

we will not touch?
We will not know.

And will we ever
gather all of those papers?

You drift along-
side them, suspended,

momentarily—inhumanly
free, and only

for this split-second moment.
Will we ever know

what they were?
How many?

The question that fills each of
us as you topple through this odd

black morning: Who
are you? Why you choose

to lead this pattern
of papers that dances

into the sky-turned-
smoke—Icarian angels

rejecting despair, floating
high above us

on euphoric wings,
brave. Immortal,

lost…and

yet

somehow

momentarily
​
lofty…

Poets and Dreamers

San Clemente, CA

So we travel on earth seeking the terrain of Poetry, walking through wilderness and empty landscape or visiting those ancient sites like Dholavira in far-western Gujarat, or Mykenai in the Greek Peloponnese, or the Arawak campsite on eastern Carriacou in the Grenadine Windward Isles, pursuing that authenticity of experience in a form of antique material reality...

These are places, strange and vague situations where death is manifold and thoroughly extant to the careful eye. There are women’s bangles made of shell to be picked up from the saline dust or small copper beads and thin chert blades, or tiny obsidian arrow-heads that can be unhidden and disclosed beneath those bloody grey walls about the Lion Gate, or beautiful indented potsherds and ceramic fragments at the waterline where the Atlantic rolls out its long blue visceral waves...

“Dare to live the life you have dreamed."​
Ralph Waldo Emerson
​
What began as a series of literary salons and writing workshops is now a worldwide circle of literary & fine artists who believe that words, art, and music act as a transcendent bridge, and allow us to create the lives we have imagined. Poets and Dreamers Literary Circle and the Poets and Dreamers Literary & Fine Arts Journal exist as opportunities for authors and artists to actualize themselves through collaboration and the circulation of literary and fine arts.

"Remember...the entrance door to the sanctuary is inside you."
~ Rumi
