blood spoke to head
and blood said
she wore feathers, blue feathers
and a smile to never forget
and that is all I remember
mist falls, pulses rise
breath catches, voices sigh
head spoke to blood
and head said
mystery, always mystery
artifice shading reality
if the essence is hidden below the unreal
how can we know
how can we know
there was silence
and blood said
feathers
blue feathers
and that is all I remember
