Feathers

I have surrendered my wings;

bound to earth.

~

A knot of flightless feathers

fills my insides.

~

Tears are swallowed

sharp like glass.

~

 My eyes are wide open

yet blind to the light.

~

The sun burns my skin

where once it soothed.

~

I welcome night

to dissolve into the darkness.
