"Promises"

Little bird
Brittle bird
Fragile and so meek
Snapping wings
Trying to sing
Coarse and body weak
Sleeps by day
Screams at night
Waking in cold sweats
Do dream at night
And wake from frights
Little heart of debts
Claws on skin
Feathers plucked
Talons coiling in
Digging palms
All night long
Restless from the sins
The naked truth
Bare skinned bones
Do keep her wrapped in promises
Wide warm arms
Smothering the harm
Now in darkness and in consciousness
