Wind melts over me
as I close my eyes and spread
my obsolete wings.
_
I gasp for an ounce of sky as the strands of my own hair whirl around my neck like snakes, my own lashes push the dust in my eyes as my vocals turn themselves to stone;
still my screams echo in the hollow caves of my ears, still my lungs keep pounding, still I see the vaccancy around me.
Down I go. Still I go on.
