bullied
by
the
blue
ones,
you
take
solace
in
the
soft
pocket
of
night's furtive
fist
. they've
made
you
wary.
i'm
more
patient
than
most
.
you
know
that
by
now
.
i
wait
for
you
to
remember
where
you
once
belonged.
your
feet
taste
cold
concrete
.
you
take
only
what
you
need
.
then
you're
lost
to
me
,
silent
but
for
the
beating
of
your
wings
in
the
pith
of
memory's
slow
unwinding.
