Columba

Skies dragging over
A sudden spectacle
And as you land beside me
Your blinking eyes look full
Spreading out your feathers
Grey as slate and stone
Singing through your bones and
Stretching your ligaments cold

My own fabric comes clean from my wings
As the sorrow grows roots within me
I-
I-

Just one tug of the strings
Just one renegade glance
You could peel me apart
Watch your strength in me collapse
(Collapse, collapse)
You can see no more, smile is empty
Trying to force words through gaps in my teeth
I-
I-

As the plan gloss in my veins
And the colour drains from my face
I won't falter standing in place
I will always be
I-
I-
I-
I-
