Warmth
Between terrified feathers, between nights
And magnolias and telegrams,
Between southerly winds and winds from the sea blowing West,
You come flying.
Beyond the wind's sting and mortality
Between cankers and violets
In your heavenly voice, with the wet on your shoes
You come flying.
Beyond autumn skies, orange winds,
And reddened earth and dry leaves,
In the purple of the night, with the wind stinging your face
You come flying home.
