this hero's cape you've given me...

heavy

soiled

and when spread, examined--
bugs
fall out
onto
the
ground


and s c a t t e r
with much guilt in their antennae



a cape, made of words
(bugs)
and only a fool
would attempt flight with them.

it was a long drop,
full of blood
and enlightenment.

now there's something you don't hear every day- "blood" and "enlightenment" together.

i'm not sure about this one...

Who are we to say how one will get to enlightenment.
I like it.
