new wings

unfurling from what used to hurt

quiet pours
through the cool wind
it whistles to my soul
and lands at the base of my spine.
goosebumps
like feathers
all over.
yes, i need the quiet
to feel new wings
unfurling
from what used to hurt
oh, the days of being broken
and now —
sticky, sweet
the possibility
of flying.
to make the wind
my own.
