As clear as misshapen glass
I want to become a clear, transparent,
Glass figure.
A girl with wires, holding her up, & perhaps down.
And when the sun hits, she is sunlight,
She will dance when the wind blows.
Just not in the way you expect.
The wires restrict her, holding her back from the unknown,
From deep sides of twisted ridges,
A tumbling mountain.
That call her, explaining:
They have found a home in the most unlikely of places.
And I,
but a soul
And I, but a soul,
Lost in the old divide.
Crushes of fallen leaves,
The beggar of time.
Late mornings,
Have their own way of calling,
Getting one sewn into healing.
Lines that make up a body,
The dance of the ribcage,
Sustaining life.
The eyes of the fox watch the
crow, flying near the ground.
As the claws burn out, riping earth anew.
