DFC 2015 Day 15: Phantasmagoria
Bird girl knows that
she can fly.
She spreads her arms
free and wide--
the surf down low,
the sky up;
toes at cliff's edge,
set to glide.
He takes her wrists,
holds her back.
He speaks to her,
a soft plea.
His words are wind
on her back.
She steps. She falls
in the sea.
