I fell from the sky
hard
Mouth to mouth,
you kissed my mouth open.
Life screamed back
into my lungs,
through my vessels
from within my heart.
My eyes opened
to no one there
Who were you?
Where did you go?
The unseen hand
laughed openly
with what twist of plot?
Am I coming home
to a place I've
never been?
Were your comforting words
during our trips
to the sun
dreamed into a unsung
mind?
I will fly again.
I will fly
as the match head
struck alit
starved for oxygen.
searching madly.
to find this tender soul
who came back to me
under the fragile sky.
And should my wax
wings melt
before
our arms shall wrap
our spirits again,
pray that I
may quickly unclutch
to the
unforgiving
winds
the
scribbled note:
"In case of
Emergency,
please
do
not
resuscitate".
