This is Day 5 of Paul Brookes’s Special January Ekphrastic Challenge. I misread Kerfe’s title as Beneath Cloud Wings, but that’s what they look like to me. 😀
Kerfe Roig, “Beneath Cloud Winds” 
–Christine O’Connor, #11
Beneath Cloud Wings
Some hearts shatter–
their fragile shells swift-scatter
in the wind,
where owl-scoped and scooped,
the bleeding shards
are nested and guarded beneath cloud wings
to be reformed. Then re-hatched,
they flutter and fly,
soaring—knowing they may crash and crack again.
