To Be Like Edith
The Reader,
 forever rising with your lifting pages
 and strong, loving fingers
 reached her hands forward
 into your beauty, and lowered 
 her skull in deep respect
 with unmatched wonder,
 her presence still broken
 and unclear from the perilous journey.
 The disquieted mind of the
 dazed admirer floated endlessly
 through the sparkling sky
 that never quite stayed still.
 Her eyes, slightly turned away
 from the overwhelming light, 
 possessed infatuation not yet
 heard of, and her face was 
 as sharp and wild as the body
 trapped eternally in the moment of
 non existent flight, decorated in 
 quivering applause beat forth
 from thankful underlings that 
 promised to never tire out.
 She touched the ground with
 heavy, reluctant soles and
 the soil itself couldn't help but 
 scream that it should be the means of
 of an end so ugly.
 Now cowardly and relentless,
 reality shook itself over 
 the impossible radiance that
 would never belong to him
 and the moon eyed girl
 was shamelessly hurled
 back
 to 
 Planet
 Earth.
