placed in wings

stop gazing at the moon
and see shadow dances in concrete --

deep in a joyousness,
i draw my last breath to look at the stars on your face,

take my heart and place it in a
lightly woven silken sheet.
and caress it like the delicate wings of a bird
oxygen swimming to the highest peak.

-- upon this i may dive into the sun's ray
where your silhouette sits against stone.
in the mountain i hide you away.
