I Once Did Fly

My arms are attached Lucid in ball peen sockets My head - an anvil of silk Spins formless and hungry In my youth Slipping through whiskey dreaming I wore my heart sleeveless Dancing unafraid - with wing Replacing appendage Tonight these limbs dangle Electric - each finger Hissing a remembrance Of feather and blood On this evening Light staining the darkness Yellow and damp My hands held before me Imagining the soaring of wind.
