POETRY

learning to fly

and learning to Be

Photo by Annie Spratt on Unsplash

Aunty Becky

once said- “You an’ me are like peas- in a pod.”

but I reckon that she just didn’t want to feel so fucking alone in the world

I never felt at home at home neither

with all that chitter chatter feathers puffed up and flying everywhere

some days I tried to fly with a towel that mama didn’ mind being outside

held in each hand and I jumped off the fence

imagine still being so dumb

you think you can fly like that

it didn’t stop me trying ever

I only learned to fly

a long long time later

a lifetime too late

it only happened

when I told Aunty Becky that I never was like her nor them neither

Thanks for your reading time!
