lapis

Aether-seeker, eyes on the aerials

Divining for a sign, a twinkle beckons at the citadel

Melt the glaciers, swell the crests

I need a wave to build my nest on

Throat filled with angel dust, almond brittle, starcrush

Wings glitter half-lidded, light stilling, feathers spread

Star rains catch on angels' breath

They lean into the golden threads

Strain against heaven's mesh

Wounded tapestry, I stitch it back to breathe

Blue fire against a sun-kissed sky, hold a name high, burn it
