You are pretty with birds
on your arms. One day
I will startle them and
they will carry you into
the sky to see the heart
laid out below and feel
my smile in your hair.
v.2
You are pretty with birds
on your arms. One day —
startled into
the sky —
A heart laid at
your feet —
a smile in
your hair.
i really like this. i like the confident, matter-of-factly tone, the unquestioning logic of it. it feels a bit “secret” and intimate. i picture a tattoo of birds that you fill with life through your love for the canvas.
