face to the earth sand in my teeth sun in my eyes watching the shape above me keeps turning too low I cant lift my neck but I know that outline the crooked fucking drift in the heat looks familiar a dirty curve in the wings thats keeping careful distance the usual hunger dressed up in silver the ground has my cheek and my days are numbered every breath breathes a bunch of the dust in my mouth and I keep seeing circles gather over the valley like the birds heard something about me running out but one of them doesnt watch me like the others one of them tilts when the warm light moves one eye on the wound and one on the shelter one wing over death and one wing over truth I thought I knew that shadow from better weather thought it knew my fires, my friends, my flames but it glides with the manners of a mourner but carries an appetite too loud to tame dont come down yet I can still see you from here turning in halos please dont come near if you meant mercy your wings should have broke my fall but you keep circling softly with no love in your claws theres something beside me I tried to keep dreaming believing it was something I covered when the winter got mean and even half gone and half breathing, with the flies getting brave over me and I can now tell where your shadow had been leaning not over my heart, never over my head precision in your pecks of the place where my last pulse lives just past my shoulder and down where the light is near the only thought I never wanted to hurt to give you never struck loudly but you tore the fabric never showed teeth in a way I could see to move just lowered your orbit by inches and inches till the silence started touching something I couldnt prove that is the cruelest kind of circling not the feast or the claw or the obvious blade I know that silhouette taking measurements before my body has even gone cold in the shade dont come down yet I can still see you from here turning in halos please dont come near if you meant mercy your wings should have broke my fall but you keep circling softly with no love in your claws I would have called you down once I would have thought your shadow meant I was not alone now I know some wings only encourage my absence so they could take the warmest thing when my body rots to bone dont come down yet I can still see you from here turning in halos please dont come near if you meant mercy your wings should have broke my fall but you keep circling softly with no love in your claws dont come down yet I can still see you from here turning in halos please dont come near if you meant mercy your wings should have broke my fall but you keep circling softly with no love in your claws face to the earth salt on my teeth sun in my eyes one shape above me looked past me first © 2026 Hotwife of Pi.
