Poetry is just the evidence of life. If your life is burning well, poetry is just the ash. Leonard Cohen

Kite

source
I am a kite
My bones are weightless
I wear my flesh
like stretched silk
No blood runs
through my veins
Just insert a string
in the empty circle 
of my navel
I will fly
like a ghost
And you, fearless one,
will hear
the howl of the March wind
as it names my pain.
