Vogelperspektive

(Bird's-eye view)

My heart is about 
to leave, ready to ascend 
then hover away 

on the dusked wings of
her before my woe-hardened
rib cage could shatter

her. An exodus
of the chosen damned is her
new purpose to find 

peace in the embrace,
the horizon's snowy clouds.
I would go after 

her, but I'm rooted 
here; this mandrake soil does not 
let me depart, so 

I let her set sail
and ask to be the very 
sight of me; just to

watch over you while
you're about to blaze the new 
path... From here, her bird's-eye view.
