Free Bird, Mia Lehmkuhl

Free Bird

i have stood at the precipice of drawing breath or losing it

i have walked to the cusp of a rocky skyscraper and managed to turn the other cheek to its jagged jaws Mia Lehmkuhl

i have ran to and from the alluring depths feeling the tide just barely sweep me off my feet

nothing’s better than feeling alive when you are closest to your demise so as i drag my feet to the edge of the world

for the final time

i lifted my arms and i flew.
