Across the Bridge

Like a seed she planted her 
knees
In earth and lifted the burden
of silence from  her tongue 
and
begged for forgive for her 
sins.
In her prayers she exclaimed 
that 
if the weakening rainbow 
bridge 
could bear the burden of her 
feet
she would walk across to the 
other 
side of the sky from where 
she fell 
to reclaim her wings.
