My words begin and end at the mouth of Christ

Balloons

White knuckled around balloon strings
thundering, drumming veins
"Release them" 
He beckons
a quivering lip- warm-backed eyes
a setting sun behind
a rising before
 release
first the gray- biting in memory
to a fire pit black
released
sinking 
gripping green grass
life itself
spitting out pride,
hopes and dreams

submission
