Foiled Again

Air Slices

By Gerard DiLeoPublished 2 years ago Updated 2 years ago 1 min read
Aeons Effect the Escheresque

Evolved dorsal convexities

Involve ventral concavities

Bilaterally frame the headwinds

Forward-forcing æther's airfins

Differentially

***

Turbulence begets sky's lift

Friction regrets, plies rifts

Wings are castanets of motion

Percussing silent airwaved ocean

Tangentially

***

Upward tilted wings

Invisible buoyant strings

Force fliers ninety degrees

Above the nascent breeze

Preferentially

***

Aerofoils

Ne'er toils

Symbols—freedom, peace, and hope

O'erhead our feathered horoscope

Inferentially

***

Surveying from above

Dinosaurs disposed of

Ocular acuity is

Predator reality

Intentionally

***

Songs forever sung

Nests built for ever-young

Our ground, underfoot, full stops us

Their world, all else, atops us

Two-dimensionally

***

Flight — a forever, forbidden fancy

Of those who dream of necromancy

The beauty of the gift

Is really in the lift

Quintessentially

...existentially

......providentially

    This really responds well to the call for proof. The process of evolution and the volition of flight. Whoo! Crazy work there.
