unnatural creation, akin to cement.

You gave birth to a star inside of you.  It flamed like an embryo, asking the sun for a race one morning; so you had to go find the rays like a scavenger hunt leading you out of the sheets.  You left a letter.

~
Dearest Vine,
your ivy leaves are always attached to the earth, and at one hint of a drought, you dry up and fold into yourself like an envelope.  I have to lick you to seal you in, but you lay inside of yourself, the glossygreen side nowhere to be found.
You know my dream is in the sky.  Your roots are familiar enough, yet they hold no interest in my eyes.
If you turn into a bird, you will see me someday.
-Your Timecloud.
~

Periods are like the end of the world herself; when you dot, the fields tremble in her arms and let go of their dandelions.  Which makes me ask, 'where did all my wishes go?'

They're all on your wings, riding to a space I will know nothing about while I grow on the end bedpost.














~~~

    I love it. Thank you for writing this. I needed to witness something beautiful tonight, to remember what it feels like. You did just that.
