On flight

Your departure was so final
Like a plane I  had foreseen going down
I watched you walking away
fading into the foreground
In every step I waned
In every step all the bright parts of me faded
Until, deemed dated, I left your face

In every pond I saw and every shiny mirror
I couldn't erase the image ofcold blue eyes staring back at me.
I couldn't erase whispered promises
from lips that were not your own.

The plane crash i had seen
You lay dead before my eyes
All I could do was hold on and tell you
to avoid flight

But you cannot clip the wings of a maven
Set off in flight
after information
you cannot provide.
