Blind Flight
Our blood pulsed in each other's veins,
and we breathed in the sunrise.
The forest spun, branches blazing,
wings alight with every phoenix cry.
I was your re-birth, and you mine,
baptised in burning entwinement.
Today, my knees are cut, my ribs cracked.
The sight of your back tastes like ashes.

The abruptness of the final stanza is brave and admirable - and I think appropriate like a slap across the face of expectation - cool writings

Thank you for noticing this small thing. I wanted to contrast the feelings, because heartbreak is usually unexpected.
