"flight"


we want to call it ingenuity

a craft of humble hands, loose parts

I lean into my turns even when

he's not around


I was a bad first impression

but he saw dark purple, red

bow suspended in the flight

he wanted for his heart

he said I soared like I was


born from the wind

but I came for the sea,

for radio waves and

endless blue


I've only kissed with

my mouth closed

I don't know how to

tell if he loves me enough

to let me land
