Clearly Obscured

I had you

caught in the moment

between sunrise

and when my fucked up eyes could

open to allow the morning in

once again.

Hell is a sparrow

tumbling from the branch

feathers

can not break the fall

Wings will not bring saviours

hymns and harps

the eternal host

a hand to land upon

Bones are brittle

hollowed by the men with pipes

and illustrations of

the past

winding into their eyes

I had you

encased in amber

a millennium passing

in the press of a kiss

Tomorrow is a chick

mouth agape

impatient

for succour

as we strived to reach the nest
