Analysis of divinity
deep eyes of divinity
started rusty innard-gears.
steam and sparks and leaky parts
woke his body's sleeping heart.
lunar smiles, exploding touch
floating fires of northern skies.
recollections parasite
dream of moments black-and-white.
unreasonable restraint,
resolution in plain sight.
warming flames once set him free
fed on thoughts and left debris.
letting go of rails and ledges
trying out his opaque wings
no ground below - no roof above
the only word he hears is love
