My Long Term Memory

By marinakari

A bird

The Himalayan legend says

there are beautiful white birds
that live completely in flight.
They are born in the air,

must learn to fly before falling
and die also in their flying.
Maybe you have been born
into such a life

with the bottom dropping out.

-"In Flight" by Jennifer K. Sweeney
