When you venture out today
go as the crow flies
Which is meant to say
spread your wings
Expand in the direction of the wind
Take up space. Fly.
Unencumbered by steel cages on four wheels
telling you when to stop, go & slow down.
Limiting your direction and turning to the left
This is one way you can’t enter.
She’s flying high above you soaring just that way
And calling to you. Come with me.
When you venture out today
go as the crow flies
Which is meant to say
Lift your neck high
Expand in the direction of the sun
Light the world on fire. Fly.
Unencumbered by steel masculinity on two legs
telling you when to stop, go & kneel down.
Limiting your direction and pushing you into the ground
Because up is one way you don’t belong.
She’s flying high above you soaring just that way
And calling to you. Come with me.
When you venture out today
go as the crow flies
Which is meant to say
Expand in the direction of the earth.
Become again. Fly.
Unencumbered by steel egoes on one body
telling you when to stop, go & look down.
Limiting your direction and keeping you small.
Because remembering is too much love for one person.
She’s flying high above you soaring just that way
And calling to you. Come with me.
When you venture out today
go as the crow flies
Which is meant to say
Expand in all directions.
You are the crow. Fly.
Unencumbered.
no telling where to glide, dart & hover.
Limiting nothing.
Because all directions are one.
You’re flying high above soaring just that way
And calling to the next below. Come with me.
