“am i beautiful?” “no”
“but they praise my
wonderful wings—” “and
avert your myriad eyes”
“i bring warmth, love,” “hate
fear sadness as well” “what about
my devotion? it soars beyond the sky”
“yet ultimately arrives to hell” “then,
what about you? are you beautiful?”
“yes” “they abhor you though.” “of course
I am made of bone” “whereas i share their skin,
their hopes, their secrets.” “that is your
evil” “... i don’t understand.”
“you can not” “so…
am I beautiful?” “no.”
