Shadowed tears
stray down hot-
like tiny people
fleeing to an open wind,
on feathers
of deepest black and blue...
In a salvaged-somewhere
that I cannot grasp-
Forever me
leaving lonely on the linger
and more flee'ers from my eyes..

Can't quite blame them
or cowl at cowardice,
Might even try 'n' join 'em
vowed hand over fist
that wish I wish...
If only I could
shed free of this Self
that shadows my salty purge-
Never in aide but ever a'watch
like a perched crow, head in tilt
and silent-sipping.

Open arms can be the most fragile in the world...

Oh, my, my, but I have been "lonely on the linger" for a large part of my life, devina.

Ahhh . . . the last two lines are perfect!

Been spending too much time in my own "salvaged somewhere."  I would bet yours has better decorations.

Jerry- those crows do have that undeniable dark draw, ty!

Michael- wanna really bet? (curtains man, curtains, 'member )...'cuz if you count black, charcoal, and deep blue, then I guess the bits of silver would be the brightest in the room! g's

WindWalker12- thank you for your reply and for the read!
