Brooklyn.
Late August, 2018
things the wings do
• hunch over your shoulders when you’re scared
• cocoon around your upper body when you’re cold or needing some snuggling
• fan out in a nice big stretch when you first wake up, trying to touch the ceiling or wall
• raise over your head like an umbrella when it’s raining to keep you dry
• settle on your back when you’re relaxed
• spread to reveal all those soft downy feathers when you’re with someone you love and trust
• fluff up to twice your size when you’re angry
• do some panicky FLAP FLAP FLAP when you lose your balance
• stretch out like you’re flying as soon as you get faster than 40 mph
• hang off the side of the bed when you’re sleeping because they’re just too big
(feel free to add more!)
