invisible cages
May 23, 2013
two light years from the sea we
dropped our feathers and
sank into the
dead grass
home is a long ways
away
there is a plastic tag on
my foot
and I itch
I have been flying my
worst, twisting and
shaking to try to shake the
silver noose off
but it is so stubborn
and home is a long ways
away
one light year from the land I
watched you sputter and
fall still under
dying sunlight
the oil glistened bright
and I feel
very helpless
home is a long ways
away
