Darkened Skies

From the gross dross,

In melting stars

that

Faded into space,

I made a Heaven

out of

this

Place,

Studied the rules

of

the

Altitudes

That ruled

processions

that followed,

In falling feather

attitudes,

And chemistries

of

mysteries

in

Similitudes,

Made

to

fall;

That is all.

And when the darkness came

with

the knowledge

of

my name,

I closed my eyes

Opened my wings

And

Imagined

Flight

in

firelight –

Into darkened skies.
