Dear Moi,
I was reminded of something reading your words about the kite SO I went to find it...
The Kite is the Victim - Leonard Cohen

I reckon we need a sub-forum to dissect just this one piece of amazing poetry.
Quote:
A kite is a contract of glory
that must be made with the sun,
so you make friends with the field
the river and the wind,
then you pray the whole cold night before,
under the travelling cordless moon,
to make you worthy and lyric and pure.
