***
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
just the right size to hold up against your chest
|
||
|
|
dim in the darkest part of the night
|
||
|
|
watching the shadows of the tree branches sway
|
||
|
|
as beyond the veil they twist and turn and play
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
your fingertips brush my wings absentmindedly
|
||
|
|
sitting on the couch, alone but together
|
||
|
|
feather after feather after feather
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
and you and I fight
|
||
|
|
tussling, disjointed wings wrapping around everywhere
|
||
|
|
a flash of fabric- I'm zipped into a bag
|
||
|
|
for a split second before I disappear and reappear elsewhere
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I sit alone on a stool
|
||
|
|
staring out the dining room window at midnight
|
||
|
|
human form, human eyes, human mind
|
||
|
|
who is this person who's discarded their light?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
there still remains a certain radiance to my skin
|
||
|
|
divine spirit rendered flesh, after all
|
||
|
|
but there remains an unsettling sense in that
|
||
|
|
one friend can take yet so many faces
|
||
|
|
how far one deity can fall!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
you love me no matter what form I take
|
||
|
|
hanging in the air, caught in a tree
|
||
|
|
a light in the darkness
|
||
|
|
a warmth in the cold
|
||
|
|
a heft when all gravity is gone
|
||
|
|
|
||
