It wasn’t the heat
turned her bones
to water
her wings
to pointless feathers.
It was the foolishness of angels
who think they can’t fly
when they can.

This is beautiful, I love the theme of it. There are a lot of fools about though it seems! Perhaps it's not foolishness, more fear that stops us flying? Just a thought... HG: -) xx
