Chassity

Chassity is just a little off,
Headed about 10 degrees aslant.
Avidly she winds up in a trough
Singing an enthusiastic chant.
Stunned, she surveys heaps of savage stones;
Instantly she whips out angel's wings,
Takes off from the valley of dry bones,
Yet with her mind still fixed on what she sings.
