Soul Sighting
my breath lingers
surrounding me in a
cool cloud of icy air…
for a magic moment
it is like looking
at my soul

So like a leaf, with a transparent white stem that had been battered by a storm; frayed fluff and separated barbs in shades of silvery gray, ochre and indigo. If I hadn’t been looking down I might have missed the feather.
I wondered if the bird who lost it, missed it, or if it took its passing as a commonplace event, like clipping one’s fingernails.
I picked it up and headed home with a lilt in my step; me and my tiny single wing.

a tear in the veil
where souls from Elysium
flow from light to gray
