Aeon

by Elizabeth Jill




If you would to ever hold a bird even for a moment,
make sure your hands smell like feathers.

No. Make sure you are feathers.
Learn this one skill.

were you that bird, I would be that feather, a whole slew of feathers, and you'd know by their fanning, you were home, as I know I am at home in this miraculous ode which is of a feather to fan the blues away and everything else that ailed.
