Feathers

Written by KaShief Johnson

A

seasonal

freeze approaches;

he is counseled to follow the

warmth, Though he finds solace about-

facing the flock. Centuries of inherited instincts

and elderly lessons conflict with the contents

of his soul, No sense of community,

only confusion and fear in

the wake of his

awareness.

His wings

resist the winds that

lure him south, He knows

and embraces the cold as a fellow

champion of misunderstanding.Though

he cannot reconcile the rebellion

of his existence, All things

that make him wrong

 are right in his

eyes.
