Flowering

Flowering  

mobility like a maze 
at least Icarus tried
I’ve done my laps 
too many
been skinned 
know this isn’t that
seen enough frost
I’m ready to catch my breath
make real wings
fly to the bright side 
me and you together
sun without the burn  
there’s light after every wreck
when the trick falls
starshine under each leaf pile 
warm inside the blizzard

put a ladder in my wishing well

Rat Skeleton
