still connected
until off
and out of touch
then disconnected
until touched
back down
spread out
in open air
while up
and away
until tunneled
and dug deep down
upon a return
earthward
left in all
directions
with wings
while met with
the resistance
of mass
that requires strength
to push away
what has taken
the space already
so needing the light
lifted wing nature
of a bird
to live a life up
and out of it only
to return and find
your wings useless
for pushing aside dirt
and debris, needing
to eat and weigh
yourself down to life
in a world of mass
heavier than air
