I Have Been At Odds

[Guest guest]

I have ben at odds with myself

entirely and sorrowfully

at once

I am clouds,

I

ingratiate myself in

open skies that I may

rain on crimson sunsets

and preach to rainbows

 

Sometimes I imagine

myself as rain itself

touching the world in

wonder and fear

in these times I am

a minstrel

outpacing myself in

servitude of my Galaxy

my subtlety

in reverse,

I wear Sapphire air

 

 

 

 

And so fall

as Mercury,

heavy, leaden and

poisonous to swallow

impossible to gather

do not breathe me,

as I can not breathe

at these times

ponderous burden

I am,

 

though

I choose to remember

That

Mercury is a God

 

with wings on his feet

 

 

 

Love,

Ana
