Alight
They gave her wings to prove
All were equal under God.
But in truth is was a lie,
An impure and thin facade.
But then she did something
Their blueprints said could not be.
She flew above the oceans,
She flew above the seas.
They shot at her with ancient conventions,
With proprieties, with arrows
Of precedent and fear.
But though they hit her many times
They never once came near
To forcing her to land.
Then, the millennia arrived
And the newest age began.
Everywhere other angels
Also took wing and began to fly.
A vee so free and massive it blotted out the sky.
Each angel drafted behind
Those who were ahead
Until it became much easier,
Though they couldn't fathom why.
At the last they just pretended
They could see in the amber scented night...
Then the legend landed: now THAT was indeed a sight.
