( votes)Watchman Of The Night
written by: Allison Grayhurst
@AGrayhurst
From the horizon
he emerges
winged man
sapphire eyes
savagely unfurling his bright feathers
He cups the salt from the sea
takes it to his mouth as nourishment –
pellets to spew at the sky
Then up!
twisting with the wind
dancing in the aura of the setting sun
His silver hair
flares the sky
his midnight lips
lost in haunting song
Chariots, tigers
race, prowl
around his blue body
Swirling, he meets the moon
and takes his place among the stars.
