let us thy be your wings says my dearest friends! much love to both of you, Ubik and Mikey!!

Ubik
To become
a real butterfly,
you must first
be confined
in the shelter
of your
healing.

You must first swallow—
even when bitter—
the moment
is.

We'll choose
the most vibrant colors
for you,
we'll weave
the strongest wings
for you.

Attach us—
to the palm of your prayers.
Attach us—
to the pillars of your hope.
or simply,
attach us
to the edge of your backbone
so you’ll never again
fall to the ground.
