~
I pray in the shade of her wings.
My forehead to her feet and after, my cracked lips to her stone hands. My lips sting. I taste ash and I paint her fingernails bloody beautiful red to match her shining eyes and crawl away in tears.
We cry, bleed, and cannot die. Our wings torn, swords dimmed, feet chained to a city of tombs.
And her, my mourning star, my love cast to stone and her light extinguished for daring to lead us to war.
Yet I pray. To callous firmaments, fickle goddesses. For wings, that she might fly again.
