Of breath and wind; of dark and light.
This is really good. I need to give it another read or two.
I felt the same. A lot packed into those four stanzas. I particularly liked "The act
of uncreating leaves a honey-gleam—
a spark dancing across a lion's back."
Thanks guys! Hopefully the train of thought is cohesive. With poetry especially, I tend to forget that not everyone is in my head and is following the same logic.
"a spark dancing across a lion's back."
What a line!
Thank you, Nik!

Tracing the verb back through the series, it would read, "An eastern gale will...lay them..." That sentence is not in present tense.
Edit: I see what you were actually referencing now. Good catch.
