As if he were ill, living his final days

And the slope wings rush to in youth
with unseen secondary and primary flight feathers, fluttering,
Barely moving, fluttering softly

So welcome blossoms from this one, as though they were,
Pluck from it flowers as if
now wet with droplets, the eye sockets of lovers.
Dew tinged lovers' eyelids
