diary of a woman with wings
child of the southern sun
desires stir within
centuries pass
outer appearance changing
minute by minute
egg to feather to sparrow
sparrow to crow to raptor
circling and circling
even higher like an angel
ushering in the darkness
stars falling one after another
trillions of fireflies turn into lightning
piercing hidden clouds
and striking naked trees
rapturing the soil
fertilizing sterile seeds
march two thousand twenty

Brilliant, my friend.
Thank you, Dana.
This swept me along deliriously. Nice!
Thank you, Mikels, I’m glad you enjoyed it!
I enjoyed the details displayed with the following lines:
“egg to feather to sparrow
sparrow to crow to raptor”
I get such a strong image in my mind of evolution, in a sense, with how the outer appearance changes.
that’s really cool, D.J., thank you for sharing your thoughts on this piece
