16/30 - Retirement

[skonen_blades]

Take the halo
And give it a half twist
Into a symbol for infinity
An 8
That can also be used
For handcuffs
And hang it up
Where you’ll never return

Take the feathers
From the wings
And use them to stuff pillows
For children’s fights
And deep fry what’s left

Take the robes
And cut them
Into flags of surrender
And let them wave goodbye
In every wind

Take the harp
And pawn it
Or melt it down
Or leave it lucky horseshoe empty
By using the strings
To cut cheese
Or hang pictures
It doesn’t matter

Go forward
With no light in the dark
Grounded
Naked
And silent
