Knowledge of Returning

flying without wings

is a reflection of chance

taken into an edgeless corner

it is a form of wandering

somewhere in your intimacy

i will be staying here until

i learn how to return

to learn to fly with wings

the birds get high in the sky

where nobody

can see them

how they get drunk

with the perfume of freedom

they still have that wild passion

to scream their pain out

where

nobody can hear them

this is how they have women’s innocence

to think

they have not been cheated on

this is how birds are

deceived to believe

they won’t ever forget to fly
