Figure of Flight

Can you make me a pair of wings from words?
Let me fly to the moon on the back of a metaphor,
And float back to earth flapping wings of rhyme.

The edges will be dogeared pages, of unfinished adventures,
Let me hear the crinkle of paper as I speed away
With another alliteration, some consonance, a caesura.

Will you please make me a pair of wings from words?
Will you write me a verse, a letter, a line of love,
And let my spoken wings take me to the stars?

Write me a sonnet, let me take off,
Read me a bird of rhythm to take me on it’s back,
And let it read me away, into space’s celestial nebulae.
