It is hard to let air soften my insides
hanging loose
hair a useless shield
against what?
Nothing in particular. Really, Sally.
Fields and air and sea and sky
not here right now
right now
now hear
a kestrel!
Not a child?
A kestrel!
There is something something something
that makes you think you are made of light.
