Wings spread
You've done everything possible to keep me from flying
Fractured fragile bones between your fingers
Laughing while I bleed
Unable to flee
Eyeing me through your cupped hands
There is only darkness and my heartbeat
Wings spread
First in the mind
Then I am soaring
You are a thousand miles away
Smaller than prey
As the sky opens
Endlessly
