when winged we purport to beat
angelic exits through the heat?
Why anchor souls to earth who've flown?

If I deconstruct this, it seems awkward. If I don't, but take it in with a single sweep of the eye, it's magnificent and crystalline. Wonderful again.

I like this reflective, philosophical write. Like the thoughts and the form. Good questions here.
Thank you for entering my contest.
