Metamorphosis Daydream~ By Valentina Cano

There are too many days
when I wish I could sprout feathers.
Imagine the depth of it:
bones emptying out,
becoming hallways of echoes;
eyes filing with so much light
no shadow could frighten;
arms no longer for pointing or grabbing
but for lifting air on its edges.
A voice rising like heat to the sky.
A body of air and sound.
