Invisible Aerie






Invisible Aerie





I want to rest inside your memory

all the details twigs and straw

leaves and sticks your face and voice.



I will forget

the pebbles and rocks

that caused discomfort.



I want to feel the softness

of sanctuary in your missing eyes

since you've flown off.



I will remember your body

and look forward to your return

even though the sky grows dark.



Sean Lynch
