Limbo-angel, or empirism

.

.

He tries

and flies in vain

into no man's land

lift-off not being granted
his bodypack far to heavy

just slapping imaginary wings

not even glued consciously to his back

I would like to tell him something:

walk up onto that top of the cliff, where you

can see the vast horizon of your wantings, put them

in your rucksack and attach your wings

at the sides. Then throw it down

and see what happens; so that
you remain safe and sound
for the time being
