Androgynous Angel

Androgynous Angel

A Poem by JayceeC
"

A tribute to David Bowie

"
Androgynous Angel in white
Wings of satin about to take flight
like some Space Oddity
searching for a bit of life.
I gaze in fascination at this being
which entered my house as a vinyl cover.
You flirt around my consciousness
morphing again and again;
speaking to me from your place on the wall.
Rebel Rebel is your rally call.
Let's dance in red shoes and blue jeans
until we’re dancing in the streets,
unified by the music.

But you didn't stop there.
You surprised us with
a kiss of modern love
and absolute color blindness--
sloughing the image once again
from rainbows to black suits and fashion models.
You made non-conformity the norm
And did it in style.

If only you could have stayed
a little while longer...
You paved the way for new sounds;
who will be a trailblazer now?
As your flitting around in celestial skies
an androgynous angel taking that heavenly chorus to new heights.

Author's Note

JayceeC
For many of us who grew up through the 70s and 80s Bowie was a staple icon of non-comfomity. He was constantly reinventing his stage persona; like Macy's windows was eager to see and here what is next. He disguised his poetry within music, but take a look at his lyrics sometime.

Big fan. Shocking right? HAHA. I have every one of his albums. Quite a few on vinyl. He was the man of invention, that's for sure. More fond of the Thin White Duke than the Ziggy persona.
This was a very fine homage to all his accomplishments. If you haven't checked out Black Star, do so. He knew his time was short and so far it looks like it may well be one of his creepiest albums. CD
