dream-bones stay long after
he has woken up:
bright, lightweight and silvery.
fused together by memories
and the sleepy recollections of them.
hips joined to ex-lovers and their feathery touchings.
these hollow bones can fly
not on wings, on the rush of nostalgia
high, before a fall.

dream-bones stay long after
he has woken up:
bright, lightweight and silvery.
fused together by memories
and the sleepy recollections of them.
hips joined to ex-lovers and their feathery touchings.
these hollow bones can fly
not on wings, on the rush of nostalgia
high, before a fall.
memories mar the spirit
