The Iron Angel


The iron angel, beautiful in stillness
passively resplendent
aged and ageless
her benevolence shines yet  her nature betrays it.
To hear her roar may have meant the end of you
to feel her spit made it certain.
A protector to a generation, a symbol of defiance.
Now she sits, waiting to return to the heavens,
the freedom she gave taken from her.
