you precious amalgamation
precariously knit
shreds of skin and bone
you hum with life
shot-through with veins of red and blue
how vibrant and vivid and impossible you are.
i want to wrap you up inside my jacket
and keep you there, a joey.
instead, i let the long string unfurl
you tug and arc and pull
higher in the wind
and the beckoning blue sky
i can't
i must
you grow
i cry
good
bye
