Phantom angels
pirouette around pedestals
shaped from increasing high expectations,
built upon fantasy's foundations.
I watch them from below,
unnoticed,
as I reach
for the heights of the unattainable
favour of you.

Abstract, vague the insinuations are whispery, faint, ghostly even. Yet the diction makes me think angular and geometric...
Interesting. -
