Having Wings By Ben Harper

aerial

the magnitude

of what you've asked
me to do

sets in (about the time)
we
take off

and
halfway there
a

piece of birthday balloon,
half-shriveled and

half-curled floats
along the bird line
on

your horizon (so)

i reach for it,
my hand out
the open

side of
this

helicopter,
dragging

us round and round
and

buoying me up
on
the hope

of maybe,
baby,
and

(all) the g-forces
related

to you...
