Wingless

by Mugerwa_Muzamil

Soul, don't slip through that windpipe Soul, hang on even if it be on thorns Though you bleed to find tomorrow Angels, fledge his soul from the wind For wind flies the wingless Scatters seeds of men Shakes marrows of old When time draws close Feathers on the quill sway Feel of hair on the heads numb and the bald heads run cold Colored spots in eyes cloud For wind flies the wingless Shakes off hands of clocks Skins crease to dry dates You dither you wither Then you realize Those myths are true stories, that grew weak 14th December 2023
