Ghost Birds
Danna
i.
spirits live among us
secreting in cupboards
and closets
behind half open doors
they waft through air
like spent skin
gusts of exhaled breath
sighs of sorrow and regret
so it is,
so it is and always.
ii.
winged spirit
released from the flesh
of this body
grow into forgiveness
in the skin of another body
iii.
gone like a cipher
a small glittering
behind the retina
a pulsing
then silence
vast and empty
like the womb
vi.
a broken vessel
shards crumbled to dust
v.
cigarette ash colored sky
seraphs circle close
quick footsteps behind
and all around
a voice from the closet whispering
