Seven Days by Justin James

perilous

loving you is like
standing

(wingspan trembling) in front

of

a throbbing mob
of eagles,
feathers splayed in defiance.

i stand (and soar)
over

the hard peaks of this grand canyon

waiting for you.
i pluck

hairs,
and i separate
the truth

from reality
like

speeding bullets,
and

as i face down
(knees trembling)

i come to realize
that

these are desperate times.
they

need
desperate

measures...
