how a winter sky takes you up







a winter sky takes you up 

beyond your bones & weight 

to ride upon the timeless wings of cranes 

and other feathered things 

as snow slumbers the earth towards 

unchained spring 

I am weightless 

unbounded 

wrapped in a cold that cuts 

and smells of striving & light 


marvel 

      in the quiet of streets 

and quiet forgiveness
