Wings

Wings Icarus wings perhaps ... Waiting for an angel In my closet Where skeletons preside To one, attached wings My angel mortalised. Hunting for another I find them without wings They've lent them To some human on the brink. I've been floating On deja-vu wings Living on borrowed wings. And there I hang In my closet With unfluttered wings I am my angel Mortal without wings Trapped on earth Heaven with sins.

What stayed with you?

A line that lingered, a feeling, a disagreement. Great comments are as valuable as the original piece.
