Cecil Wings

Sometimes, a fabulous notion
escapes from my wanderlust eyes
as I wake just to see my pale brother
look up from his pleasant demise.

He spies the delight of the heavens
He circles his lips with his thumb
and right as I motion I'm leaving,
he turns toward the house to go in.


This is a poem from a notebook lost years ago - there is more to it - something about absinthe and his belly writhing - 
but I can't put my brain on it at the moment.  Maybe someday the notebook will show up and I'll finish it properly~
