Handing out wings

like they were portions of God

this narrow asphalt

made by architects of tourism

movers of time and space

reaching out like insane astronauts or genius heretics

breathing our iodine

becoming halogens

the sky moves sideways

dystrophic airwaves

feeble beacons

eerie radio silence

here come more perils from the sky

I loved the first simile to pieces. "Like they were portions of God" 

Reminds me of classic Icarus. He had wings and a bad crash too.

I couldn't help but wonder which crash you were refering to . The 1972 Crash in the Andes where the survivors resorted to cannibilism to survive or the  crash of the B-52 at Fairchild AFB in Spokane , Washington in 1994 . I particularily remember the B-52 crash as I was once a resident of Spokane . Your mentioning the sky moves sideways was very vivid to me as that is how the plane crashed - sideways . Unfortunately in that incident there were no survivors .
