Morning Air by Jason Reeves

offhand

like joan of arc
things

are looking shady
but

i remember lifting off
one day

in a helicopter
into the wild blue yonder

and (it felt)

like sterling silver
on

my neck.

i kept his words
in my
pocket

(locket) jewelry shining
like

my hair and i

loved him,
for all that he was worth,

and i remember

as i flew away

thinking i would die,
die

for the art
(and the honor)

of believing...
