i scale each
note of
her
magpie tune
onto brittle
branches
and wait each
season
out..
and if there’s an
encore yet to
be played
out
to be heard,
to shred
these
ears, well dear you
know my
fear..
for the shrillest
tone on
midnight’s navy
breath is
you,
you’re still the
tinny keys i
bang my
hands
into.
