1
I see myself a hero
2
While one wings falls away
3
And the dial approaches zero
4
In a spiralling display.
5
My past life flashes feverishly,
6
And lives I did not lead,
7
Like the time I was a hero
8
Of a weird, outlandish breed.
9
One arm of flesh and muscle
10
And one of feathered scale
11
I was hero with one wing
12
That was of no avail.
13
I could only fly in circles
14
Like a corkscrew in the sky,
15
My one wing flapping frantically
16
While birds just glided by.
17
I launched myself from mountains
18
And from the highest trees
19
And though I could get nowhere
20
Just landed on my knees.
21
But still I was a hero,
22
With one wing more than most.
23
Almost half an Angel;
24
A whirling holy ghost.
25
My father was an eagle
26
With two wings wide as sails
27
My mother was the west wind witch
28
With grasping finger nails.
29
She lured him from his aerie
30
With her twittering device.
31
She kept him in a golden cage
32
And fed him field mice.
