Literature Text

I'll cling to glimmers,
I will build thrones from this eroded edifice of chalk
breathe ocean currents easily as air,
spread out ungainly arms and wave them, falling—

I will bare out my blood when I meet ground
and lie there smiling
if only I can demonstrate for you the hope of flight
that keeps you striving.
Sometimes you have to give up everything so someone else can keep going. And sometimes that's entirely okay, even when it hurts.

Only sometimes, though.
