back to the store I bought them from;
cannisters empty, all fuel spent by design-
rather, seeking to fly at altitudes high
with only mind, arms, back and will;
to soar while still.
At last to hear after years of deafness,
the grating, galling shame of indulgence;
fear is not in the flying, but the falling.

Time to shed rocket boosters-
back to the store I bought them from;
cannisters empty, all fuel spent by design-
rather, seeking to fly at altitudes high
with only mind, arms, back and will;
to soar while still.
At last to hear after years of deafness,
the grating, galling shame of indulgence;
fear is not in the flying, but the falling.
