Fly Away, Bird
The swish of heaven,
beneath in girl's Winter
eyes — solo bird, she's
large when seen by blue.
She beats me, with her song —
memory streaks the air
childhood, womanhood
with her song, she beats
on me.
I also have wings,
heartbeats. Beneath
my ruin, feathers.
We chase feathers —
a dress to look at,
The bird say
Winter's shadow where
branches once spoke
her tongue —
she never lifts off gently —
she's never flying easy —
such is intensity
fly away —
