Wings

Soaring on steel
I fly so close
to the sun
igniting hope
and then
singed
falling
falling

To dust and ashes

Voids unfilled
by parting
curtains
legs
or souls
shrink and vanish

Blinding rays
through bending crystal
scorch me

On bended knee
I pray

The sun sets
I'm alone
in the silky dusk
and peace floats in
on wings of gossamer

Hello, God.
