Every Moment by Jet Black Stare

satin stain

pulling back .feathers. i hold
this bird
in my hand, folding wings
backwards

like a ballerina
doing a plie

i feel the pile of soft white
fuzz at the base
of the feathers

plush carpet by your bones

and i hold the end of the flight
in my hands
like .a broken catapult.

it's a bird, a
beautiful paper aeroplane
.under. my wing.
