"Hope is the thing with feathers, / That perches in the soul."
A bluebird flies, fearless, in the clouds, but succumbs to fate, Falling. Its wings broken bent and belted in the cry of last hope. If only Icarus weren’t so close— as sky gives way to sea.

Icarus
A Wind rolls through the forest— Branches shake— on a bare tree A Leaf rustles— restless— quivering— Holding on a moment longer— A Wind rolled through the forest— Now All is still— hushed— like Dawn The Cold relinquishes— Darkness parts— And reveals the Leaf is gone.

Untitled #1
Oh, Love! what you must know— Is that my attachment to you can only grow. My love for you knows no bounds— It fills every corner; it resounds In my chest— like a thing with wings— That flutters and sputters with plucked heartstrings. As a loyal companion returns at a cue— My heart will always come back to you.

Sleeping, with Emily Dickinson
In the world of music I was a record And she was a song ****** But even though I sang about all the things she was addicted to I just wasn't her genre.

not Here, but There
