Description
she has been investigating all of the ways
that she is not and will never be an angel

1) her bones are not hollow
2) there is grace in the way she moves
not sitting deep inside of her, in place of her soul
3) her soul sits deep inside of her, weighing her down

4) she has no wings
5) she has no halo
6) she has need of sleep,
and she never dreams of heaven
7) the closest she gets to being part of the heavenly host
is when she hosts a dinner party

8) her faith is not ingrained into her bones
and her bones are not hollow and she has no wings,
regardless of how much her shoulder blades itch

9) she is tied to earth, and the plane it sits on, by her too-heavy soul
10) she has never known heaven, and she probably never will
11) she has need for sleep and food and the comfort of prayer
and she has never, not once, been sure of herself

12) she wishes she had wings
13) she wants wings
14) her bones are not hollow and she has no wings
and her soul is so heavy and oh, how she wants
15) she wants and she prays
16) sometimes she prays herself to sleep
17) she sleeps

18) she has never heard the voice of god
19) she has never known heaven
20) she has never been sure of herself
21) she has never flown through the air with divine purpose
22) she has never known purpose
23) and she probably never will

24) her soul weighs her down
and she does not dream of heaven
and she prays and prays and prays
25) and god has never answered her, not once

26) her bones are not hollow
27) her bones are so heavy,
her soul is so heavy, she is weighed down
28) she is weighed down
