The Wingspan of Desire

The Wingspan of Desire

~

Mind akimbo

Little bird

Pecked clean through

Two holes in you

~

Scattered your body’s crystal

In front of swine

I thought you mine

Drank too deep

~

Harsh lines to crumble

Sea and sand

Defences outpace your command

Diplomats sleep

~

Wind whirling catches fire 

Burns off our clothes

Compost the noxious

To grow a rose.

~

Circles fighting circles

A knotted chain

Sanity’s been sanitised

But I’m finding home again.
