The Tower

Like a ramp

corkscrewing

upward must not

only reach

Heaven, removed 

from the plains

of foundation 

at a great though

arbitrary height, but also 

taper inward, down 

to ever finer

scales the closer

its approach

to pierce and pass 

through the

Throne, mirroring 

the escalation 

of man's facility 

to build the tower

higher, ever

in the first

place.
