June 4, 2016The Path
I saw a man
striding along gold,
he was dusted
with curiosity,
a purple glow emitting
from his cheekbones.
And when I stirred,
he was silent.
I wondered what
made him so,
for I was only
perched on a branch,
flicking debris off my wings.
And at dawn,
he slept,
slipping away like owls.
