lay here…
safe in the morning light,
soft in the daylight,
until sunlight becomes skin light,
breathe in and let the flowers
wrap you up in sweet
until the air comes easy from your chest,
until the sky becomes something you can touch,
and the earth becomes somewhere you
can stay and still have wings
