Read Poem: Slain Wings, by Samantha K. Collinson

His feathered wings of wanton sin,
soaking etchings of desire—
rippling ’round her rose-coloured bodice,
blazing spring fire.

All consumed until winter fell,
she binds him to her beating heart—
his limbs cloaked in her cold death,
entwined, forever. No longer apart.

She denies him spring again,
her feathered wings unfurl and fly,
waiting for summer swells of heat,
he is torn apart in the sky.
