Tensile Wings
Fragile in no way, pliable, flexible
Delicate? Hardly. Reaching coves and corners
Getting her monarch where she needs to be
Tensile Wings
Rarely broken, tough and durable, dependable
Lifting up the faeries into the hollow of the oak tree
Flattening themselves to slip into crevices
Tensile Wings
Vibrating with the hum of the wasp or the bee
Showing damselfly, dragonfly and mayfly the way
Lasting the duration of their life time
Tensile Wings
Giving an abused wife the push she needs to fly away
Escaping the wrath and injustice of a sad man
Who will have to find a new Luna moth
So he can continue to pull off someone’s wings
