“Swan Song”

I love you like it’s over, or the last religion, soaring a swan

imagine eagles. I love you like it’s over, or the last religion,
soaring a swan song. Was it music, a sudden thump, or
spirit speaking. Its urban phones, striking through the
suburbs, to touch a precious swan. We paint in teal, to

to knit a garden, and crochet a kingdom. We’re there,
buried in seams, staring at a stencil. I reach for missiles,
to wreck the sadness, where passion erupts. You want for
essence, the core’s fruit, to scribble a masterpiece.     I love
you like it’s over, or the last religion, soaring a swan song.
Feel for stage-lights, an actor’s dream, captured in ink; so
write a whisper, a well of walls, walking with wails.
