Reverse

Stitched to the blue feather a straight birch leaf

That she dropped lightly by his legs:

Wandering aimlessly, avoiding his gaze

Of fire, bold, but casually

hesitant. The gaze dropped blunt as a blow.

The head tilted sideward with inaccurate smoothness,

Winter fire slowly withdrawing

Into its black burrow which was not hidden.

The family wouldn't tell her to stop.

She took the feather from them with a scream.

It came to life in her palm till, attentively

She released hesitant fingers. The feather stilled.
