With
Wings To Fly
A
woman
with
wings
to
fly
she
does not know
why
she
can not
seem
to
extend
them
to
take to air
all
around
seems
stagnant
she
fails
in
all heaviness
to
remember
when she
enabled another
was
clipped
to
the point
she
forgot her name
was
shrouded
left
with only
a
thin line of mesh
her
eyes to see
only
him
she
was grounded
but
finally one day
an
eagle flew over
freefalling
calling
calling
Quetzalli
Quetzalli
is
that really you
what's
happened
what’s
happened
what's
become of you
your
beautiful wings shorn
restricted flight
throw
off those chains
set
yourself free
take
to the air
no
more despair
in
small steps
she
began
to
forgive herself
to
remember who she was
not
who she'd become
everyday
more feathers grew
first
in little nubs then in sprouts
as
if by magic
her
wings bloomed anew
her
muscles retrained
after
many crash landings and falls
Quetzalli
took to air
stronger
in every way
never
to be grounded
again
