Cautions the Trumpet

the bird on its string. indemnifying the wind. the person on the ledge. accuses gravity of murder.

knots will be tied. difficult to undo. the hours will breathe. their sharp edges. not caring. what it opens.

the pauses. the stunted exhales of puppets. as the wind blows across their stages. an icy danc.. The inevitable leading the chaos.

time's arrow pointed toward the past. as heavy wings stumble upon a fading path.

gravity like mountains. to fall from or to scale. the decision like needles. stitches far behind. the pace of the wounds.
