days on pensive wing
it comes to me in my twilight concern
bemused mythologies
fending off carnivorous time
gilded ambiguities
like some kind of reminiscent apocalypse
beckoning me over the edge once again
I feel the flourish
of familiar fictitious heroes
swans of seduction
promising lighter than air
precipiced pirouettes
fast on unfettered wing
but gravity makes
for a certain
dance partner
and now that evening
dims the horizon low
and my heart does faintly illume
I abjure to shadow
and so now come these days
on pensive wing
bemused mythologies
fending off carnivorous time
gilded ambiguities
like some kind of reminiscent apocalypse
beckoning me over the edge once again
I feel the flourish
of familiar fictitious heroes
swans of seduction
promising lighter than air
precipiced pirouettes
fast on unfettered wing
but gravity makes
for a certain
dance partner
and now that evening
dims the horizon low
and my heart does faintly illume
I abjure to shadow
and so now come these days
on pensive wing
