Reveling in the shadows
Of chased away thrills
My startled kin
My long expelled resolve

So viciously uprooted
I embark for their rush
Far from the beckoning
The growing quake of vendetta

Smoke trails climb
Yet I defer from their cries
The daily shrillness
That floods my nervous frame

Sporadic fire
Fuels my desperate flying
Along treacherous bends
That scatter these feral thoughts

I fly with unrest
Tumbling madly
Over my own fearful footsteps

As a boyish fool
Ahead the waning plumes
Fully cleansed
Of another heart’s dismay
