flying into frame off center
.
a tunnel of words
brambled tight and bunched pretty
blocking the straight line
shortest path
and isn’t that always the way
flight holding up
a mirror
of freedom
while the simple branch
extended as an offering
of comfort
goes unnoticed
these wings
always itching to soar
defying the gravity
of cracked calloused
talon
weaving labyrinth and lace
into a ripe ruffled tapestry
of circuitous
reflection
.

Isn’t that always the way? I love this piece, Kelly.
