Mother sits back down here eyes now swaying from one end of the table to the other. One day Jada a man who walked through people, steppedon and walked through came and tried to talk one of our mothers way, he tried to do like some men try to do, suck and twist and take every most thang that is inside of you make it theirs by way of killing what you got to you just aint got no moreto give then they try and try and take some more but momma our momma let her clothes fall from her body magical child magical and her wings rolled out of her back not like butterfly wings as beautiful as they are no these where thick feathers black and shinny feathers she arch her back head high in the air and she grabbed her babies she wasnt going to leave them behind (the ones they ain't take and she lifted herself and them off the floor and throught the roof of that little old shack.

But momma where did they go off to momma are we going do we got wings? Momma do I got wings too? Momma looked at me she looked at me as if she had never really looked at me before and she walked over to me and she put her hands in my hair then my face then took my hands into her yes baby i am sure you got wings too but right now they just so punnt you cant do nuthing with them and momma only got two arms. She kissed me on my forehead and gather the younger ones up in her arms i got up and followed behind her as she walked to the door and i followeed her upall those steps, those piss filled staircases were you could hear words bouncing off walls loud drunken, dope and wine filled words when we got to the top were momma said I could follow no more she said she want me to go home put the locks on the door and get under the covers and pray silently to myself to make my wings big and strong just in case i need them one day. run run now and i did and i made it back to my house and my room and got under my covers. And i began praying so hard but the noise all the noise from flashing colors and people screaming and yelling and banging wouldn't let me pray and maybe God just didn't hear me over all the noise, over all the racket for wings or maybe my wings broke like my mommas........
