The first thing I notice
you are sprouting wings–
I once had huge flamingo pinks.
I traded them in for dragonfly wings.
They work just as well.
compact, discreet
–under clothes
no one knows
you can fly
anywhere, anytime
everything is smaller now lighter now B I G doesn't mean better dewdrop wings dewdrop worlds
But do as you please fly to Texas toot big guns howdy partner come along cowboy ride my bronco Angel man keep growing those wings together... we'll fly out of here. Genie Nakano, 2016--revised, August 17, 2021

Lovely Tanka poems, Genie. Maybe I have wings and didn’t know it. Sometimes my spirit soars! This post reminds me of how it feels! ❤
