Feathered Forehead Kisses
Karyn Indursky
2013
Feathers of memories
float down my face
in rivers of tears.
American eagle eyes soar
through my tangled emotions
with talons ripping my flesh
exposing my vulnerabilities.
Above our beloved country
pride, courage, and brave paint
what we lost to this incredible woman
gliding into the eyes of God's
acceptance, love, enlightenment to chariots
leading her to join
Anthony and Sigmund on your journey to heaven
and with our hearts in our throats
we kiss your forehead,
praying you'll rest in peace.
