23/52: waiting for my wings

The bones losing calcium
becoming fragile, hollow,
are just waiting for the wings to grow.

On the next stage of the journey
I can't be carrying all this extra luggage,
all that extra rock,
I'm leaving that behind
with a healthy serving of meat and fat.

I'll be just an outline
of the grounded being I was
when my wings grow in.

What will be left will be the pure me.
The essentials only -
I'll be unmistakable, 
all the confusing stuff gone,
the pure form when I leap toward heaven
and don't come back down
because my wings
have grown in.
