flight

I wrote this poem a few days ago, when my blog was down, so I couldn’t post it here. Then I took some photos and was reminded about the poem, as per it being very appropriate in this case.

what lightness you must carry
that your body, suspended
appears more natural above the ground
an earth of dirt and filth, stone and burden
unattached, you are more suited
to the realm of birds and angels
though I suspect
that even angels do not smile so warmly
in flight
