Even Before She Writes

...she has a story to write, 
a story with no resemblance 
to what she has ever written before, 
a story of beautiful writing anew -
a new song. 

with two broken hands, 
she cannot fly, 
so, if she cannot fly, 
and since she cannot fly, (she sensed it)
let her sing. 

cynical, right?
