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.

Posted by Philip F De Pinto on 02/21/12 at 07:18 PM 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. |
