Ribbons Of You

Shannon Wright


These bloated veins have climbed 
Hillsides and airlines 
Looking for a limb to reside 
This eager scheme has turned 
Lathered up your bottled smile 
But the notice just passes the tether by 
In storms the coils do fail 
And I will paw for air 
You buckle and stir 
My brittle hand 
O' this empty glance of you 
Folds only to consume 
How they fray away 
These ribbons of you
