One by one they opened the bird cages, and the sky filled with parakeets, canaries, lovebirds, and finches.

It’s been a long day
Such longing.
How large
the muscles in our shoulders must be
to lift our wings even a single time.
~ David Romtvedt, closing lines to “Dilemmas of the Angels: Flight,” Dilemmas of the Angels: Poems

Lightly child, lightly.
But what about the ocean’s intensity that echoes our own,
the fever in cold weather, the soul’s descent?
What about the weight of the angels’ wings?
~ Etel Adnan, from Night

Miracle? All of it.
Sound of wings. Let’s just say: Wow!
