flightless

Pink- all that's alluring and gay
the suffering day beaten into grey

Silver and lightedheaded motion
                      a hapless dream left

balked in the idea that there is more
to life than tearing my heart in two

                to allow this loveless bird to keep breathing
           to render the image of its suffering, its black feathers

                scratching at our skin
 memories frame themselves
and comfort me in this loss

                    ...

                    ...

                    ...

i keep breaking down, can i do this?
this love is not Love, but air and mud
flightless and wanton, i've never been so lonely before
