Shadow at your Feet
Paint a poem to catch your fragile smiles That could shatter from this winter’s Breath The angry blurs of mismatched shades Soaked into the paper-thin fabric Of spider webs Fold your tears into its gentle creases Give it wings Send it to me

Before the fall Into this fragile laughter And blinding light
