grumbling
open
white
rather, pale pink
“You better sit tight, now
you’re on for a show”
oh, but I am
tall, golden, opulent
white feathered wings
black feathered tail
red hearted soul
tainted, sin red.
and then me
grumbling
open
bronzed
rather, sun-kissed
“I’m ready for it all”
oh, but he isn’t
short, bare, needy
pink feathered owl
black eyed
injured hearted soul
tainted, pure gold
collide
oh, but collide
like smashing two black holes
a rupture
a heartbeat
feathers ripped out
one
soul
left
Ours.
