Threnody North

I am an eagle
Soaring above the exurbs
Against the wind
It takes my breath away

I am stunned by how much nothing I can be
No longer anything but wings and a spine
There is a black box hidden in my chest
When they shoot me down, it's all they find

Fuck you, viking
I never valued your approval anyway
Fuck you and fuck that clinic
I don't care anymore
I want to bite the hand that feeds me
No I want it destroyed
I reject your sympathy
I'll have nothing less than a panacea
Don't speak to me like a child, ideally you'd be silent
In my perfect world there'd be no use for words at all

I once read that the universe is always expanding
And I never understood
I can't comprehend it, into what is it expanding
Is it where I am right now
Is that why I can't feel the ground
Why I can't make a sound
And though I've never felt content with any answer I have ever found
I'm asking, is that where I am right now
