Flying Outside the Wire
Freedom is an oily key,
a dangerous walk across
the ear of sanity searching
for the sound of your own breath.
Programmed by wire boundaries,
and wingspan of hell’s generosity
I am a wildling crow learning to fly
a sky that doesn’t stink of vengeance.

Testing a Theory
Dressed to the nines,
the tail and spur of it,
I prance vanity’s sidewalk
testing the cracks in pavement
to see if my shadow will choose
to add or subtract.
Dear god, it is annoying
to have fate boast
it own’s the
calculator.
Flying Without an Airbrush
Stop staring!
I’ve been in enough kettles
to know the price of fire.
While you whine and photoshop
I’m flying where I choose
without the weight of airbrushing
myself into fiction.
You were ambitious, with all three images, Susie! So happy to see you at the Muse!

DeleteI love the wildling crow learning to fly the sky.....three great takes on the images, Susie.
ReplyDeleteThree spectacular poems for the price if one!! I love them all Susie but can utterly relate to Flying Outside the Wire!
ReplyDeleteI too wrote for all three--which is quite a feat these days, and I admire the spirit and soul in each of these, Susie. The end lines of the first knocked me sideways. Happy holidays, and a better new year to you and yours.
ReplyDeleteThese are magnificent. Every image carries its own warning and determination and the line you make them walk is stunning.
ReplyDeleteOh My Goodness ... each is wonderful in its own extremely well done / unique way. Testing a Theory, my favorite. Be well, Susie. Sending love, energy and wishes for a peaceful, joyful Holiday.
ReplyDeleteEach one of these was insightful and does a good job of imagining what is in the heads of each of the critters.
ReplyDeleteYour wildling crow is following the book on vengeance, more and more are taking up guns.
ReplyDeleteThe "price of fire" is going up as very few businesses are giving away free match books any more.
..
These are engaging, and pulls thought from the reader. Well written Susie!
ReplyDeleteEach was excellent, Susie! I like reading their thoughts.
