I have made a flight
to the shining lights
subway cars rattling and rolling
shouldering groceries with raw red hands
rooftop champagne sunsets
I have been carried by winds
and currents who
tell me to try in the face of failure
and debt and loneliness and heartache
I have grown and wrapped my
hands around the sizzling iron
held ashes and dust and let it fall through,
crushed the doubt
