Angel
I asked the stars for nothing
Well, maybe I tried to bargain
But then you arrived and I was humbled by the
universe, yet again.
Wings
You’ll never walk
again
She laughs down the phone.
Well, maybe you
will, if you can master a prosthetic.
Mum is upset. Stop this! Stop
calling her! She is my broken bird.
The day I was better I left home again.
I preferred it
when you had no wings.
Right before you
did it
It was a moment, it could have gone either way
One of those moments where
you make a choice
What kind of person you want to be.
When we moved your friend said it
is kind of good though, no? Some things you can leave behind.
Except you didn’t.
Denis does
dumplings
I take them both to a party.
The consummate and charming Lord of the Manor greets us.
He looks at my Angel.
Wow. You are a
very handsome man.
He looks at my friend.
And you, also, are
attractive Miss Kate.
My two dates.
