free falling

...a bird sinking down
through the wind
unmindful of the
cloud, to cushion a fall,
past the snow-capped mountains
passing the time that
seemingly freezes

...and the tree
was just a speck
from miles above,
is now a giant
to a bird that descends
from the heavens

The gods might as well
have clipped its wings,
unfitting of tendered-grace;
utterly unyielding.

unto the bottomless
depth of the earth, has
no sounding of horns,
a winged-god deprived of love

...has fallen.
