clutch

reaching reaching
palms white
shaking

open
willing

i wait for the
air birds
to fall

thick
heavy

all a flutter
heaving
breaths

white innocence
glinting soft
down

falling falling

feather
snow

drifting
drifting

but
i can’t
make
it

stick

tight
fingers
grabbing

clutching
air

no birds
just

the space
between my
finger bones

telling me
the empty
still
eats
alone

sobbing

the feathers
fall through

clutching
hands

do you remember
that
summer

the wind soft
in your hair

lights flickering
about your
temples

no air birds
to haunt
us then

but
winter
is still upon
us

i grow
weary
of the grey fear

that sucks
my marrow

clean
