YOUR WINGS ARE SET ASIDE

YOUR WINGS ARE SET ASIDE
5/95

Penetrate and divide this bind
Grabbed me by the neck of my mind
You got it
But don’t worry
There are wings set aside for you
Let your eyes be the first stroke of flight
I witness
I honor
Each day vests the sunset’s beauty new

I kiss the rings that are never to be broken
Yet on the lip tears left unspoken
I can carry stones
I will lead you blind
Though my fists wrench the night looking for my mind

Each breathe a promise to the air
Your love is in my face like hair
I feel it
Your breathing
My fingers comb down the length of your smile
Penetrate
In my wandering
I will fly silent and carry your stone this final mile
