Cellophane

A heart as a lark,
That has woken it’s neighbours
Come out in conjecture
With fierce loaded chambers
A wing to be taken away

To locks without window or doors
Where the pulse may condense__
__ A sanguine taste upon the floor
And a fog on the window panes
As lungs carry scars

From obsessions of breathing
It’s truth through a filter__
__The breeze of a world that
Has fallen from kilter
And wheel with a feather upon

Grounded it sees
Not city, colour, love and stars
But the Ground
Where its supposed to be__

__A content breath believed.
