Rapture In Flight

I’m a two-winged poet
  not just single-wing

And would never clip one
  to fly into this wind
  
As one wing goes up
  the other comes down

Until both work together
  when flying most proud

A zero-sum landing
  with talons not right

Only shortens the glide path
  —and ruins the flight

(Villanova Pennsylvania: July, 2016)
