the underside of fog

when all things become all black
and underneath it all bleeds all of the time;
when never again the ink of feathers
can quench the paper lovers’ thirst –

the wings on the wind will soar once more.

there you have it my darling; our winter tears
as destiny’s mockery.

and underneath the fog
away roll the departures.
