Fly Away, Bird

The swish of heaven glimpsed
beneath in girl's Winter
eyes — this solo bird, she's
large 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 —

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 —
