surviving frozen
in the shell of abandoned
wing shivers of red
hatching on empty
fragility of hoping
spring will rise from ash
a featherless bird
i fly the ice of winter
searching for freedom

Of Eve and White Bird
escaping
eden
where
misogyny’s apple
grows
from pointed tongues
angel
of mercy
flying
a needle sky
clouded with corpses
butterfly
pressed beneath glass
caught
by Eden’s net
