Wings Never to be Pinned

She was so much more
Than disappearing fairy floss
Sweet and gone in my mouth

She was haunting thought
Before and after every sleep
In between unmentionable to extreme

Truly unknowable in context
Of fullness more than deserved
When the fireworks stop

A billion times they fly
Higher than forever in my
Darkened wanting colour mind

And every cracker paints her
In techno-vibrant noir portrait
Shunning extraneous light unneeded

The screen takes her perfectly
As was meant to be over and over
One fucking pixel after the next

And she fills every wanting square
With wanting beautiful false hope
As a butterfly teases night into day

Then predators of darkness converge
She flies so far above unknowing
Wishingly for the hearted monster

Out of reach untouchable except
Through the disconnection of eyes
And unfaltering childlike minds

Her climb through rainbowed ether
Heroic tragic, fucking comic to some
Disappear look away disappear

Lovely lovely thing
