What I I mean is

I have been asking them to fly

with me

to be under a bird in flight

to see a bird fly

feel the air

inside you

watch the undulating flap

taste the wind

I enjoy the underside of them

the belly of a bird

as I look up

their movement

the forward stroke

effortless ease

I am dreaming

I am dreaming

am I dreaming?

this kind of normalcy

for winged ones

is

just

flying

If I gaze long enough

I am flying too
