No-Fly Zone

I can't fly here anymore;
how much more simply can I say it?
No matter how many feathers I gather,
whatever contraption I make,
it will not be enough.

Once I flew in skin, no need of magic,
and in some times, in some places I still can.
Here I am lead. I didn't change,
but there was change and the loser
always pays the winner's price.
Now, yet another zone where I can't go.
Those are the rules.
Worst of all, I made them myself.

Where's the eraser?



Unmake a few...

let the wings be unfurled...

How true... and how devastating. The finest feathered wings can't help when feet are encased in concrete... no matter who did the pouring. *S* And if the trap's of our own making... it hurts even more. *S*

Beautiful work!!!

Reminds me of C. P. Cavafy’s The City:

"You will find no new lands, you will find no other seas.
The city will follow you.  You will roam the same
streets.  And you will age in the same neighborhoods;
and you will grow gray in these same houses.
Always you will arrive in this city.  Do not hope for any other---
There is no ship for you, there is no road.
As you have destroyed your life here
in this little corner, you have ruined it in the entire world."
