"An Ill‑Fitted Halo"

tilted— never quite resting

where the light intends

edge catching on stray hairs

like thoughts

that refuse to be tamed

a slip of brightness

sliding into my eyes blinding,

not blessing

 

I walk with it anyway—

crooked grace

clinking faintly in the wind

sometimes it spins

like a coin still deciding

which face to show the world

and sometimes

it is only shadow remembering

the gold it once held

A nice cadence

This poem runs so nicely tumbling down to the end. Tilted Halo but I walk with it anyway. Great lines.
