THE DIARY OF PINK PEARL: KISS KISS, AMERICA! by Jes Fuhrmann Flying The Night Ropes I fly from the top of the tent and the platform shakes a warning I have cast out, and the first swing is always the hardest I have the momentum, and the grace I scorn the net that believes I will fall There is a catcher who knows my heart, my hands, and swings toward my grasp I am a flyer with arthritic fingers - but only two! Two chances to fail - There is never really a third The catcher grabs my wrists, and then lets go, so I fly straight up, and turn, turn, to fly wide in a perfect arc, above the love of the crowd, They gasp at my easy perfection, the warmth of lights far brighter than the incandescent sun, and I turn back to my pedestal, to land, and stand, hand tight on the rope, the other in a fanciful wave The pain in my fingers throb in a twosome of swollen rage I know I have always paid, for the gift of flying I hold tight to the freedom in trying. by Phibby Venable Denton, North Carolina January 24, 2014 Painting by Judith Desrosiers ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Thank you for your support to help us save all parrots from neglect and abuse in captivity.
