The ink in my skin is bewitched;
These feathers are thrumming like strings,
and life, it is flooding these wings.
It started this morning. It itched.
My shoulders have through the day twitched,
You’re stretching, and my pale flesh stings.
The ink in my skin is bewitched.
Your call echoes loudly, it rings.
You leap to the air without hitch,
while I’m tethered by earthly things.
Your first flight is fire, as it sings.
I’d give anything to have switched!
The ink in my skin is bewitched.
