Feathers

Damage has defined our border
Wall and manner forged in flame
Knowing little of your wounding
Share our mending all the same
Weight of words and wars we carried
I’m like you, just like you
Eyes of secrets, storm and story
Show and tell, we’ll make it through
Sadness like a pendulum
Pulls us 'round and to and fro
Onus fate and undue odium
Armor, anchor, lead and stone
By the telling, will they become?
Will they all be feathers?
Eyes of secrets, storm and story
Show and tell, we’ll make it through
Onus fate and undue odium
Armor, anchor, lead and stone
By the telling may they become
May they all be feathers
