in the mornings
he tended to my wings
sometimes pinning them sideways
only then did the ecstasy
fly out of them
by evening
we hid in the hollows of tree trunks
reservoirs for the vast disparities between us
half-felt effort flutters
reverberating shudders
reminders that the forest itself does falter
echoes of nothingness
flaws and darwin
at best, love,
a one-winged conquest
