~

"What was it like?" the finch asks, perched between hollow ribs. "Tell me please tell me."
 

"Like a sun, asunder," she says, wings wrapped in dust, arm stretched skywards. Dark sky, no stars. Her eyes dim. "That terrible, engulfing light. All those ashes."

 "You betrayed him," the finch chirps, skipping bones. "Broke your covenant."

"We were his children, first," the angel says. "He betrayed us too."

Oh, little bird, she doesn't say, if only you remembered the reach of your wings, the light you promised. Oh, little bird, you were always the brightest of us.
 

Remember, little bird, please remember.
