Wing

Wing

I AM
thick hair blown by a wild wind
soft skin kissed by a torrent
and I have a secret.

Not a dirty secret 
like, "Dont you ever tell anyone where he touched you" or "Please don't tell Daddy she's your lover"

A sacred quiver, 
An earth whisper 
In a grandmother's heart. 
Gifted 
to mother,
            daughter, 
                   granddaughter
Over and over again
For centuries.
Until you whispered it to me.
I AM
thick hair blown by a wild wind
soft skin kissed by a torrent
and I have a secret.
