with crayons
I stole
from a blind man

and feathers
I found
upon the ground

I built
these wings
to carry you
to morning

still the sun
climbed
the meniscus
of your frown

That someone could fashion wings out of colorless crayons and flightless feathers, is a feat indeed. I liked the use of meniscus here. It also made me think of the crescent shaped underbelly of mammatus clouds, covering the sun. I enjoyed this..
