You know that place between your shoulder blades
that you can’t reach?
Even if your hands can touch behind
they are useless
to soothe the need,
to fill the place
where something important used to be.
Sometimes-
you can reach it
with a shower brush.
Fire and joy fill the spot
as a million tiny severed connections-
evidence of your divinity-
come to life again.
It’s where your wings were
once-
right there
part of your body
before you fell-
before you came here
to understand
what love is
and what pain feels like
and what it means to be a human.
So, tell me,
was it worth it
when you lost them?
Do you miss them every day?
You can feel them again, you know-
when someone holds you close
their hands meeting at the broken place
where your wings used to be.
The touch causes skin to sing again
and flex to unfurl your glory.
Gone now-
Tell me, human,
was it worth it?

Fabulous Mimi… just fabulous.
Thank you.
And Yes… it has been worth it. Because I know – truly know – that I will eventually return.
