“Boneseeds” by Allie Marini Batts

if the seeds
planted in your scapulas
do not bloom into wings
with the spring

at least learn to love falling,
because make no mistake
there will never be any shortage of cracks
where unmissed by no one,

you will tumble into the abyss
yawning beneath the places your feet
mistook as steady ground, and your bones
will plant themselves like seeds

fearless in flight, at last
on the wings of carrion birds

-Allie Marini Batts

    imagine just how much time I had spent for this information! Thanks!
