Literature Text

We fly by night, watch by day,
as gulls mirror ocean currents in the air
storms brewing in red eyes,
Thunder in their calls

Throw the crumbs I stole,
fill the sky with the
earth’s abundance that I took in my hands
on that seventh day we rested

I left you for a promise
and now your memory remains as
salt spray mingled with vanilla ice,
tasteless on my tongue and
forgotten to my soul,
so all I have is a thousand feathers
in my head

Still you sit,
waiting for what I cannot stay for,
I must go on to the
waking of tomorrow

Until the break of dawn,
fly, fly
