Logan February
Both Sides Now
Brave: to have left, to briefly return.
Somewhere over clouds, since rainbows
lost their luster, I’m with phantoms
of a single wing. Tallying, tearing up.
Gravity in midpoint, this much
unfinished: journals of juvenilia, a new
name, unyielding ambition, undressed
wounds of sacrifice. If nothing
changes? If everything? I lied
on language as abolition: months of
writing erased little. But who can say,
at heady heights, with bird's eye
view obscured, what follows
intermission? I’m ready to break a leg.
Glass: A Journal of Poetry is published monthly by Glass Poetry Press.
