Bridging the gap
In the dying light of your voice,
the sky wings away
silhouettes my bones;
I suck at marrow
of small gods
flesh the north wind, so pure,
inside my mouth:
the sun picks at my eyes,
gently

I am so glad to hear you say that, I think it's a keeper too, won't be going back to the other one anytime soon other than to read.

how lovely this is
how lovely this is
from your wonderful opening line, i was
captivated
there's a delicacy about this write
that is very persuasive
it's introspective, without being
indulgent
it invites the reader to wonder
it's like a moment, stilled in time
completely enjoyed
cheers
