Feather

I am a feather    
blown out to sea and 
saturn's dark eye
whispers
land –  ho 

there is the mark,  
a line of salt,    
and there is a web,  
pulled out from    
my mouth

a word. 
between breaths    
a word.
never met a fish 
so deep
like a fire
a thousand leagues
of murder.
like a fire
tell me

    reeled in on a thread     
     i awake        
                                        in a body in a bed                                           
I am a feather and   
 s/he-humanity captured me. 

i am a feather    
an empty filament   
full of  heat     
between breaths  
oh tell me
tell me.     

a word     
like a fire
a thousand leagues
of murder
tell me.

there is the mark 
a line of salt
       and there is a web      
pulled out from  
 my mouth...
