Interlude
Running full force
Against the wall
Flying
Even when I fall.
I’m a laden sparrow
A cannonball with wings
Massive, Disproportionate,
Tied down without strings.
The darkest flashlight
You’ll ever not see
In pitch I can find
Everything I need.
Knocked down
Life’s a beach
But once more
Unto the breach.
