outside heaven
a bird of Paradise
alights
on a balustrade
outside
an ancient palace
in whose courtyard
a king sits
with his favoured priests
trying to foresee
the actions of gods
who sit in Paradise
watching

I wondered if you'd described a painting. then thought: doesn't all poetry. which lead to minutes of thought about other stuff inextricably connected to both. so I would say whatever witchcraft you used here worked
