Read Poetry by Julia Z.

I’ve been

permitted to fly

Thrilling

Until the elders

told me why

“This is to prepare you, for soon, you will die.”

No more

minutes to try

At once

I am

to

jump & soar

Mostly to allow

Other to adore

my vibrant sight

soon twilight

will dissipate

my inner light

angels

will near

and I won’t put up a fight
