Wings


There isn’t an end 
and there isn’t a beginning, either 
we’re just there 
hanging in an eclipse between the ether 
and that supposed solidness, or 

maybe neither is there - or its 
an expression of what we agree 
we couldn’t be without, 
like a turned-up end of the wing 
terminates untrammelled imagination 

but we float easily 
with the secure vigour of a buoyancy 
seating us comfortably - we’ll 
be there soon is the message, as 
pressures reclaim our dreaming space
