Sestina

To live this excursion bound to beige wings,  
for motion tender a parting art said;
she dies this night, bound to love a light scar;
where eyes roam a facet bare a canvas;
we empty ashes to follow passion,
strewn in particles to rise in harvest.

Oh for regret to caution said harvest
crooked for heart a fallen art for wings;
we perish for bold to cleave to passion
spent with wine close a dark sin, enough said;
for more a channel whelmed in fey-canvas,
where artists muse for ripples from scar to scar.

We trot to where oak carries a said scar;
it’s hard to read for private a harvest,
to live in paints as roots for a canvas;
she sighs for life bolted to fated wings,
where we expect perfection, enough said;
so heart sits in mud—to yearn for passion.

She scrapes a sky to trickle said passion,
ever lost to search torn to paint a scar;
it’s slightly broken to ponder for said,
spinning through forest to reap a harvest;
where owls mourn for light ever for her wings;
so we sit before brush sore a canvas.

We disappear to sickle said canvas;
where tears fall flesh to strengthen a passion;
eyes become torch raving for splintered wings,
as soul writhes a gentle breeze for a scar;
bark morphs into flames to torture harvest;
for spirit ushers forth for something said.

It lives in a voice to ponder for said,
as eagles symbol for sighted canvas;
more for workers to nurse roots for harvest,
where love blossoms to grid a born passion;
even to cut weeds to caress a scar,
for she lies in ruins, to salvage wings.

She parts for soul to rise for a passion,
twisting through forest to nurture a scar,
where rescue is found in hellish born wings.
