nightingale opus


the version of you
sifting through window
panes
malcontent with
wisdom and
divergent with
eyes that are blue
they cure they
sing the sorrow.

the version of clamps
underneath the
albatross. there are
standards            overlooked.
  the version of self. the

pact with       provision. identity.
label. feeling. fleeting.
      conserve the best rendition
of truth for your nightly nightingale.
