She Only Wants to Heal

Feet pound the pavement

Searching for something wild

The noises of machines fill her ears

But she wants to go where the hummingbirds are

She sprints through openings in glass and stone

Only to find herself more trapped than before

Those gadgets make her sick

She only wants to heal

Run through the city and pass the border

Now she is lost but she will find her way

She veers off the road

Into the woods she goes

It is among the trees where she can finally breathe

The grass is a rug on her child toes

Here she can walk without the need to rush

Time is nonexistent

You need only find the place
