no matter how hard i swallow
   my skin's crackling-
electric from the pulse
of a dancing heart.

  like a songbird
             like a dragonfly                                                        higher
     all over inside me-      
that rhythm's staining my cheeks,                   higher
                  pushing me              higher  

  until sparrows swallow me
      and taunt the earth-
cheeky in their triumph,
     but still so warm,
  so full of light

  from my first audacious flight

title: first flight of a heartbroken girl

today i feel like if i jump, even just off my bed, i'll never be grounded again.

it's corny but it reminds me of the good old days.

You must make of the impossible
a minimal and ludicrous possibility.

I love the visual element you created with the literal formation of the words. Very cool. The whole poem is great.
