Angels and Demons

The sky darkened. With a roar
of earth-deafening proportions,
an incandescent sphere
exploded, scattering limbs, claws and teeth in all directions.
Lights flickered, lapsed
Into darkness.
Then silence.
A luminous shape stirred at the point of impact.
Nearby, dull black body parts picked themselves up and reformed.
Grotesque shapes advanced, menacing, towards the glowing figure.
Fingers reached out, lips snarled, teeth were bared.
The angel was surrounded.
