The Architects and the Morrow Days
8. Superior Saturday
She has her sights set on the highest place:
the ceiling of her towers, the vast sky
they won't reach unless they pick up the pace.
It would be much faster if they could fly.
But the lord of the sky was so clever.
She had all the magic, except that one
that would let her fulfil her endeavour
of reaching that tall place above the sun.
She'll storm the Incomparable Gardens
and seize them all for herself: the best one
by skill, not by blood, and she'll strike the wardens
who defend it and look to lord like sun.
She'll be the lady instead, at the top…
though her ambitions wind up a big flop.
