Hairsbreadth
Sometimes, you’ve gotta admire the destruction,
Full of awe and awful,
Wreckage strewn about like autumn leaves and minutes.
A one horned devil on the precipice,
Always stopping just short;
Something just shy of apotheosis,
Wax wings melting moments before a zenith,
And the inevitable plummet.
One must imagine that even god laughs, sometimes.
