Flying Fish

When he learned
even if he was aquatic, he had wings
it gave him moments
where he felt free

He flew above the water
seconds at a time
she was his for then
he lived for it each time

slipped

slipped and fell in the same accursed well

i will learn this time 

i will

crossed my arms and still

managed to open them wide for this hell

but i will learn this time

i will

broke this promise to myself

caught on too late but it was just as well

i will learn this time

i will

December

December came

quick and stealthily

with the crackling of pinecones

underneath my feet

the scent of Juniper

tangy and sweet

and the stillness

in the frigid air

quieting anxiety...

"Shh," it says, "Shh...

delight in the serenity."
