For the eyeing of my scars, there is a charge ~Sylvia Plath ha! would you like to see my scars? look this red one got it wingwalking yes way out there standing alone on silver nothing to cling to hard air flicking biting I never wavered stood in that airstream and took it full force if you’re asking if I even ducked the answer is no! this time I dared danger to find me I opened my mouth and felt for it this lavender scar the one shaped like a future? made by a soulflier ha! he just happened to be out flying when I decided to wingwalk how’s that for coincidence? he had words and words forever knew just how to wield them and amazingly how to unwield them in time to make scars nothing leaves a scar like words unwielded |

Oh yeah. Wingwalking, out there in the air, standing against the wind. Sometimes you take a chance, and the chance takes you. I really like the images in this one. Nan (Pilgrim variety) |

"this time I dared danger to find me I opened my mouth and felt for it ... nothing leaves a scar like words unwielded" This made me think, a "wingwalker" ... huh? ... Oh! ... she spoke at great risk ... and then I began to wonder ... in the end was it a risk well taken? I hope so and more so I hope she escaped. Interesting piece here with even more interesting words, especially "wingwalking." I honestly enjoyed this one! Clever clever clever ... YOU. always seeking joy, adventure and romance and wishing you find the same |
