Words for Change

Wings Lie Folded in My Mind

 

Look with me through these eyes

and this forever hardening cranium

at a reality that completely baffles

We come up with imaginative explanations

for how or why

this or that

is or does

this or that

We even surprise ourselves

by explaining as carefully

and elaborately as aeons permit

then turn slightly

explain it all once more

contradicting everything

with complete and fierce certainty

and have difficulty adjusting to our views

and no idea how to crack this shell

and unfold these wings

before their time
