Weather Report

I know this longing for the sky

like I know the thunder of my own heart

like I know the heartbeat of thunder

 

And I know the sound of your words

like I know the siren song of the Plains

like I know a held breath beneath a green sky

 

And I know the absence of your voice
 

like I know the crunch of my boots on fresh snow

like I know the silence in the heart of the blizzard

 

And this sky is hard and high and baked in blue

and no rain falls

and no rain falls

bread in the oven
soup in the pot
web on the loom
and thoughts in a knot

weight of the world
pulling me low
words aren't enough
it's all that i know

head in the clouds
don't have a plan
daydreams and fancies
that ain't worth a damn

bread on the table
soup in a dish
cloth for the weaving
and stars for a wish

they said you were a broken bird
they bound your pointed beak
they placed a hood upon your eyes
and told you you were weak

they clipped your wings until you bled
and kept you in a cage
you never knew you had a voice
except for screams of rage

they plucked your shining plumage
and they threw you on the pyre
you didn't know you were a phoenix
until they set the fire

they choked upon the clouds of ash
and cowered as you flew
your wings were whole and glorious
a blaze against the blue

housekeeping i guess

I've been struggling a bit to get into good writing habits, so I've decided to challenge myself to write one drabble per day. I'll go ahead and post them here for anyone who enjoys reading them. Most or all of them will probably be at least vaguely related to the larger fantasy universe I've been building since forever, but hopefully they'll work as stand-alone pieces too.

I don't think I have to specify this for my friends, but: I really don't need criticism on this work. If you enjoyed reading a thing, I'd love to hear it! If it wasn't your cup of tea, that's fine, I hope you find a blend more to your liking elsewhere. If there's a typo or a grammatical error, it's ok to let me know, but I may or may not fix it in a hurry. Or at all! Who knows? Certainly not me.
