Mother,
I miss the time
When I thought of you as a god
Do no wrong
Speak no evil
When I modeled my thoughts around your thoughts
Did all the things I saw you do
You made me, but I am not you
We are different now
Those 1 mm changes add up
After all
When a plane flies off course just a little
It has a very different destination
We disagree on many things
And yet
I love you more now
Than I did then
Adoration and devotion
Have matured well
I may not think you are God now
But that’s just as well.

Tangled in Talons
My first memory is a terrifying one: I took a step, and began hurtling toward the ground. My heart raced, I cried out, and then suddenly, I was airborne—for a second. My wings felt stiff, alien, like they weren’t attached to my body at all. Soon, I crashed to the ground and had to struggle to right myself, my whole body smarting from the impact.
