Feather

For this night
You say you’re mine
But what of tomorrow
And my lives nine?

I am a feather

I have rolled in the lap of infinity
Through uncountable days and nights
Have held in my fist, eternity
Can you overshadow those delights?

I am a feather

Falling out of an airplane
The weight of world upon my shoulders
And still as light as rain

I am a feather

For me, one promised night is cheap dribble
Dearie, I have known God
Your flesh is just kindergarten scribble

I am a feather

And I offer this advice
Oh maiden of ice
Should you wish for this estate
Go where infinity and eternity gestate

Absorb me
And become my fate.
