As I tremble... [126]
As I tremble

A child sits on the edge of a precipice,
watches birds weave through blue sky,
wonders what it's like to fly.

She sits there prim and pink and calm,
listening to the siren notes of bird calls
as if the sky could catch her should she fall.

I avert my eyes and walk away.
She has no wings with which to fly.
I will not wait to watch her die.
