WHERE DO YOU FIND COMFORT?
In his arms/the big arms that I’ve imagined/holding me underwater/In the wings that sprouted
from my back and fluttered frantically to keep my body from plummeting to the ground on that
day I decided to take a dive off the roof/in his face as I hit the ground/Splat!/Such a pretty face/
