When she was born I hoped she'd be an eagle but like a feather torn from a crippled wing she got caught in a stinging breeze spun through grey mist and swept into a turbulent pool Numb to the ache of an ancient break I thought I was healed until she tried to take flight ©Jane Paterson Basil

Hi Jane … not all birds learn to fly …
“Birds Walking”
Who would need wings?
If the ground was safe all year long
A level field for the world’s bird songs
No gas-filled trenches
No bombs dropping from the sky
No fallen angels waving goodbye
