Explosive

remembering a time before

My need for you grows extinct,

like the wings of a pterodactyl;

can you feel the wind as I fly by?

With a bang, my confidence expands

and an illusion dies.

****

Now my wings are fire,

flames growing with the breeze -

Freedom floats like stardust

in the light that never leaves.
