Ribbons of You - Shannon Wright

These bloated veins have climbed

Hillsides and airlines

Looking for a limb to reside

This eager scheme has turned

Lathered up your bottled smile

But the notice just passes the tether by

In storms the coils do fail

And I will paw for air

You buckle and stir

My brittle hand

O' this empty glance of you

Folds only to consume

How they fray away

These ribbons of you
