If I jump, would he catch me??
His hand on my shoulder, I fell back.Not down into the street, the mass of concrete jungle below me.The strange beautiful scenery, the miles of building, the shimmery glass

I fell into him

His eyes were dark,dark as a stormy night.There were no stars, no shine, no gleam.But I could see the world...
*********************************************
I want to find me a car
With only one headlight
A straight six Ford
On a good luck night
I want to roll down the windows
And teach you to fly
I want to give you a thrill
The kind you can't buy
**********************************************

The contrast of his skin to mine was startling.It was like putting silk ontop of cotton sheets

"I can help you if you want to fly" he whispered huskily in my ear,"It takes truth and understanding, being able to let your heart go.Flying without wings.."

Tears started dripping down my face

"Can hurt you" he ran his hands down my arms."letting go is the one thing you can't do, is it??"

I shook my head

"Your light runs through your veins.Your heart is in your head, you think" he touched my head lightly,"don't let yourself feel"


I darted my eyes from his.
********************************************
I want to lose all your demons and go
I want to tear off your chains 'cause I know

All the way to heaven is heaven
Caught between the spirit and the dust
All the way to heaven is heaven
Deep inside of us
**********************************************
He grabbed my hand,leading me back to the very place where I had been standing.This time it looked different.Not threatening, like a vine,choking me.

He stood behind me,protecting me from the sun.There was a sudden wind, pushing us farther.He helped me fly

"Close your eyes" he whispered,his feathers tickling my arms

"remeber this"

I couldn't answer, the words gone in my mouth, sky before me,taking over my eyes, taking my breath
*********************************************
I want to find me a bar
With a blue light on
Dollar shot specials
A bartender named Dawn
Painting the town
Selling the farm
You can pierce your nose
And I'll tattoo my arm
**********************************************

The fall was horrific.I couldn't scream loud enough. The cement looked like hell, fire, like thorns and broken glass, monsters, waiting to swallow me


When I opened my eyes...I wished I wasn't there.Like I wasn't seeing what was before my eyes.


Painfully, I rolled over on my side and stroked his face.The cold,serious eyes he had were gone..he was at peace.

"Abby??" Luka ran out of the hospital,"What happened?"

I looked up at him, recognizing the eyes, the mouth, the jaw I had just run my hands over.

"Are you okay??" he bent down to pick me up,holding me close like a child, a flower,his lost wife and children.


I started to cry.Sobbed..

Luka bent his face down to mine,holding three feathers in his hand,"I found these in your hair.."
