me and the star
were felled
night found my hollow
before love ever shone a light there
Tag: falling
I fell down
like ground could remain soft
and the soil wouldn’t keep
me long
His attention bat me
into the clouds.
No mind on heights.
My wings locked.
I fell from the sky
into the sea,
breaking through glass.
Memories,
webbed netting,
dragging me down.
Flightless lungs.
Scooping out water
with feathers.
Crushed stars beneath him.
dangling,
weightless.
Set down
on the back shelf,
still warm.
Drowning,
in devotion.
