Dust Beneath Her Wings

She stretches her pale wings
spread out across your back to rest between your shoulders
in her cold, bleached suit, she radiates a liver speckled aura
Ghost like, she appears.
An echo.
A smeared reflection
Fused between your shoulders
she boasts her ghostly wings
Idle she lay. Vacant and stubborn
Ephemeral, so quickly washed away.
Structure of day, reduced to dust beneath her wings
Like the anemic foundation on which you stand
Impure, sunk with your own weight
The dream of a shadow
I have measured your length and you saw my emergence
Full bloom before your eyes
At the mercy of worms, ingested by the earth
Another day, house reduced to dust beneath her wings
