lift

50 feet of string,

darting and diving

inhaling clouds like flame eats fire

ever leaving,

ever drawing near

i wish i could see things the way you do

for one minute

your chest is proud and lungs are full

unafraid of the gusts that eddy this falling leaf

hold your key tight,

don’t blink when the lightening strikes

i’ll learn from you yet, kite

i’ll learn from you yet
