Blue Skies- Ella Fitzgerald

You become human when

you stop letting your tie roll around

You become human when you cease
looking down, you cease lusting for
landings, you die with the wind
sleep with the hums of
birds that have been calling you names,
wondering who you really are
why unwinged, you soar.

You become human when you melt
some of you as the rays pierce
and the clouds drift somewhere far,
to a point you stop believing
that there is a sky
and there lives its owner.

You become human when you fear none.
never scared of dead tree branches
may wound you because greed for
immortality will stop you from finding
your place under this sun.

You become human when you give up on
flying all the time
and move on walking
barefoot.

And you are  free to be a kite once more
when the world spins too much
and all you  want is to
stare at it from above

close your  eyes
throw your  self downwards

shattering.

—

perhaps, some of us want to jump off the bridge to the thighs of the water

because we see the blue sky from its surface.maybe there, flying is not 

a hallucination.
