yesterday
we painted dawn gray;
we drenched the clouds
in dust & mourning dew;
we wrapped the leaves
in wire, ignored the
way they flickered
and shook,
but
tomorrow morning,
we’ll slip through the bones
of traffic lights and
make our way into the
forest; we’ll sleep
on dandelions and
rise with
the ravens
