a shoreline

you can't hide in trapdoors of spines
all tied down your wings and blossoming bright
you will build and fell yourself tonight

spill out like a shoreline or a saltwater sigh
your splintering bones from crooked flights
far from widest waters and blackest land

would you stay beside or be divided, fed alive
to sink through feathered skin so white and killed
in your worst of weathered ways
in heavy weights of starry banks
my cold farewell will set your ship to sail, (sail on)

i feel me wash forth to pillowy shores
of stones and dreams and opened doors
you've traced yourself alone and far away

a million spans of a million hands
will leave you locked away
and at a shoreline i will always wait
your shoreline waits
