Molt

Description

I’ve had these feathers as long as I remember
down and flights and coverts
great glossy primaries
like old friends.

covered a lot of miles
had some fine old times
my feathers and me.

But now they’ve gotten old
shafts cracked, barbs gone ragged

Time to molt, grow new ones
if I ever want to fly again.

--------------

As always, let me just apologize profusely for inflicting my poetry on any living being. God, I'm so very, very sorry. Still, there y'are.
