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

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
