mockery
we are not of
the same sky.
you leapt from a clear day,
streaming down
in a blaze of gold,
of glory.
you dripped warm rays,
warm skies, and
indulged in recycled sunshine, but I -
I slept
in the crook of sunset,
curled among the violet folds;
and I cascaded from the darkening sleep
in ringlets of blushing clouds.
we are not kin.
so pluck me a crescent of that vaulted sky,
and make me a nest
to fall from again.
