Summary
You watch her fly through the air, and think about a perfect cage— one she’d always known how to leave, but never quite dared. Perhaps it wasn’t flying, no matter how much it looked like it, no matter how much she’d wilted, with both feet stuck firmly to the ground. You watched her, and thought:
She grew up locked in a tower, and, She could have left at any time, and you wonder if, perhaps, you shouldn’t call what she does ‘flying,’ even in your own thoughts.
No, it didn’t surprise you that she’d never talked to birds.
