Skyward
•
if I could but glide
to the top of these stairs
like a bird in flight
I would soar skyward
in sweeping circles
lifted on mighty thermals
I would not be earthbound
not a prisoner of these steps
not captive by gravity
and… I would not return to work
this afternoon would be soaring
and swooping
and giving thanks
for feathers and hollow bones

I like how the bird goes up and down just as the steps would make people do.
