The Satanic Verses by Salman Rushdie
5.0

The silver river,
of a thousand butterflies,
Glimmering on the blade of the moonlight,
Dancing past
What falls to earth
The smoldering wings of a crashing plane
Two men
Eating the air like a sacrament
Taking it like a pilgrimage
Wrapping themselves in it like the folds of a cocoon
In order to be reborn one must first die
