waters unswept by wind

i fell drunk from the wagon
in thrall of a stained glass you
piercing flint storms calling
winter back into view

you should know, the fall
left me thorned flesh
for years now, i have been
prying septic wood at teeth

of all the beautiful goodbyes,
yours left waters unswept
by wind

    Love the idea of the fall being an ongoing thing, you have to keep recovering from.

      Occasionally you discover you never quite recover and just fall until it becomes flying. 🙂
