answer
with a breath
leave behind
an unfound kiss
and what i meant to say

song for blue herons

song for blue herons

his fingers, piano player’s fingers,

spread out and catch the breeze

our young hero inhales deeply

tastes the water and the air of the cuyahoga

the pterodactyl’s arms stretch out

didn’t he say that everything with wings was an angel?

he closes his eyes and somewhere near the end of the story

he finds that place where blue herons fly
