suspended vertical defying human limitations
bound in heaven's threads they perform
an aerial arabesque costumes torn, scattering
sequins and halos on their ethereal descent
as the crowd watches breath harmonized,
almost willing them to fall
if air had been my mistress, I could have chosen
to soar the allure of existing only
in this angels' abode where letting go
relies on faith and testament of art
evanescent as we all prepare
for this our final show
