Winter Island
Allysen Callery
Continues after the ad
Upon your winter island
We wore boots
Upon the sand
Thanking heaven for our hunter’s hats
That tied beneath the chin
Upon your winter island
I held you so close
I felt the bird
You keep within your chest
Spread it’s wing & beat against me
Continues after the ad
Upon your winter island
We ran upon the sand
We rose & fell like dark birds
& i kissed
Your mittened hand
Upon your winter island
We slept in feathered beds
& the howling of the air at night
Was a ghost upon the wind
